The perpetrator is Medea Benjamin from "Code PINK"!

I rest my case.

Goebells, Cohen, and Trump taught them well;

It's not the factual reality of what the video CLEARLY shows; just keep repeating the lie.

Is that still the drunken former Fox moronic Pirro? Well, no matter, that is ridiculous and about like the Subway sandwich "assault." I'd expect the same outcome.

This angle doesn't show much of anything. Luna could have grazed the back of the woman's hand, which was more in a normal swing motion from walking, than gearing up for a smack.

Certainly not aggressive like “HEY! I’M TALKING TO YOU!!!”

Post 13 below has some good insight on this. It could technically be battery but not assault.

...and an assault doesn't require physical contact; that would be "battery". This person not only didn't threaten anyone, or even raise her voice, but the contact she made could be determined to be accidental, or just the common and innocuous way of getting someone's attention. Paulina Lunatic is doing what's become common among right-wing simps: they use the law to try to intimidate. I would think another "no true bill" is in store for the D.C. U.S. prosecutor's office should they entertain this nonsense.
