Florida Woman Arrested For Allegedly Throwing Wine At Matt Gaetz
Forbes ^ | May 2, 2023 | Brian Bushard

A Florida woman was charged with two counts of battery after allegedly tossing a glass of wine at hard-right Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a private event, local police confirmed Tuesday—the latest attack on a member of Congress.

Local police in Walton County—part of the Florida Panhandle—arrested 41-year-old Selena Jo Chambers Saturday night, after she allegedly threw wine at both Gaetz and his wife at the South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival, a private event Gaetz was attending with his wife in the coastal resort town of Sandestin, east of Pensacola.

She was charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and one count of battery against an elected official, a felony in Florida, according to local records—though Chambers told police she slipped and accidentally poured her drink on Gaetz, the Pensacola News Journal reported.

Gaetz, a controversial fourth-term Florida Republican, said he chose to press charges, arguing in a video captioned “When Leftist Winos Attack” that by allowing “stuff to be thrown or hurled,” there is a “severe risk of escalation and accident.”

Michael Savage was right. Leftism is a mental disorder and studies have confirmed that.

She’s a registered Democrat and self-described member of the ‘resistance’” to Trump and his supporters.

She’s been booked with one count each of misdemeanor battery and battery on an elected official. The latter is a felony.

Broken on the wheel. The convict is lashed to a horizontal wagon wheel, and all her bones broken by the executioner dropping large rocks on them. The very first drop will leave the convict a cripple for life, which is only a short time. After a period of an few hours the convict is hanged. The families of convicts would sometimes bribe the executioner to straggle the convict or drop stones on their heads to make short work of them, and after an hour of so of mutilating their corpse, hand them.

I guess he fell short of being stab-worthy.

She looks like the ideal type to run for political office as a Democrat/Communist. You just have to think the Democrat/Communist Party politburo has their favorable eyes on her!

I’ve never read the phrase “hard-left Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)” anywhere, just to pick one example. Wonder why that is, hmmm? 😉

So did she throw the bottle, the glass or only the liquid? Inquiring minds want to know. If she was arrested for only the liquid, that’s a way past over reacting.
