A 26-year-old man has been accused of stealing a bulldozer from a Florida construction site, driving it into a neighborhood and knocking down campaign signs for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to authorities and homeowners.

The man took the bulldozer in Haines City on Saturday and repeatedly destroyed Biden signs in full view of people who live in the neighborhood, witnesses said. James Blight was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing, according to the Haines City Police Department.

Police said Blight claimed he was too drunk at the time to remember what happened. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

What a wimp!
A real man doesn’t need a bulldozer to knock over some lousy campaign signs.

At first glance, a bulldozer does seem a little extreme.

But it send a clear forecast as to how Trump will bulldoze over Biden come election day.

Was he targeting the signs, or was it just that he stole the thing drunk, ran through people’s yards, and nobody had a Trump sign?

The big news here is that Biden signs were up in a predominately Black neighborhood. Worried about Black Trump votes much, former Vice Mayor?

Drinking was involved. He needs to publicly apologize and feel shame.

Amazing that Trump signs are stolen and/or vandalized 10:1 over Biden signs, yet it's the Biden signs that make the news.

Sort of a man-bites-dog story?

Just the signs? Needs more practice on a bulldozer.

Blight is not too bright.

He just added a DUI to his charges.

Theft and vandalism is wrong, regardless of political affiliation. But one does have to admire a Florida mans original approach...

It’s the ones who don’t even remember that wil kill you.

Is it easy to steal and drive a bulldozer?
