A Rhode Island police officer vying for a state senate seat was charged with assault Saturday after allegedly punching his opponent during an abortion rally near the state house.
State senate candidate Jennifer Rourke claimed on Twitter that her opponent in the race, Jeann Lugo, attacked her at the Friday night rally that took place hours after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Rourke's tweet included a video of the alleged encounter.
The Providence Police Department said on Saturday that Lugo, an officer with the department, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident. He is currently suspended with pay from the department.
A Twitter account appearing to belong to Lugo tweeted Saturday that he would no longer be running for office, before the account was deleted.

Political hit job
LOL
More women in politics, they said...
They would be kinder and gentler, they said...
Not much difference as far as I can see...
Jeann Lugo = Hispanic Republican male police officer
Jennifer Rourke = bLACK Democrat female abortion supporter
= = = =
Sorry, Jeann old boy...your opponent’s resumé stacks up higher than yours.
Again, laws are ONLY used against certain groups to punish them. Leftists, democrats, antifa, blm...none of these people are ever punished for breaking the law.
And the fact that conservatives are not protesting this lack of action will be the country’s undoing.
Well, one Antifa/BLM tur d just got 10 years in federal prison for his violence in the 2020 riots in Portland... just one guy so far though his white girlfriend is just as guilty.
I watched the video, it looks like she went after him and he pushed and punched her. But she attacked first. Set up for sure but he shouldn’t have been there off duty when he was running for a political position knowing perfectly well he would be a target to take out. Just stupid.
Red Flag II...
I hate to admit it, but I didn’t watch the video. No need. I knew the crowds would judge the situation on the factors I mentioned. That’s what the world has come to nowadays, unfortunately.
One out of thousands. An antifa murderer shot and killed a trump supporter in Denver and the charges were dropped. Everything was recorded and he still was not charged.
