Left wing radical thugs and extremists were charged with assault after an altercation with Tennessee Republican Glen Casada in the state legislature in an elevator. The assault occurred towards the end of the following video. One of the “peaceful protesters” threw a coffee cup “with an unknown liquid substance” into the elevator, hitting Casada and state Rep. Debra Moody.
Let me make something clear. This type of behavior from “peaceful protestors” won’t be tolerated. I will not stand for radicals physically & verbally assaulting my members. This behavior has no place or voice here. These folks have been arrested and charged with assault. #TNleg pic.twitter.com/ijQR8IzEiY

Troopers took Bautista-Jones and activist Jeneisha Harris into custody, where Jones was charged with two counts of simple assault and one count of disorderly conduct. Harris was charged with a count of disorderly conduct.
“Let me make something clear. This type of behavior from ‘peaceful protestors’ won’t be tolerated,” Casada tweeted after the incident. “I will not stand for radicals physically & verbally assaulting my members. This behavior has no place or voice here. These folks have been arrested and charged with assault.”
Officials say Bautista-Jones and Harris were escorted to another room in the state Capitol for processing after the confrontation and then were transported to a mobile banking office for the Davidson Co. Sheriff’s Office. Both suspects were formally charged before a magistrate, WKRN reported.
Just another day and more radical, violent behavior from the left wing extremists. It’s not just limited to Wasington D.C.
