“Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay,” he shared on Twitter/X. “Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.”
Per THR, the suspect snuck into the party at High West Saloon in Park City, Utah, and around midnight, he went into the restroom and began to cause a disturbance.
According to reports, the man stated how he was proud to be “white” and after leaving the restroom, punched a person of color in the face, who has now been identified as the congressman.
Security was quick to intervene before police arrived, and the man was arrested.
