In a disgraceful display of left-wing aggression, a deranged liberal protester spat on Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin during a live Newsmax interview on Thursday. The unhinged woman, screaming obscenities, lunged at Martin, shouting, “Who the fck are you?! You are Ed Martin!”* before assaulting him in a vile act of disrespect. This shocking incident underscores the lawless mentality of the radical left, which resorts to violence and intimidation when confronted with strong conservative leadership.
Martin, a dedicated public servant appointed by President Donald Trump, was discussing the administration’s success in reducing DC crime by 25% when the attack occurred. “We need to stay focused,” Martin said before the rabid leftist interrupted him, spewing hatred and bodily fluids. “Whoa!” Martin reacted as the woman screeched, “You’re a disgusting man!” before fleeing with her dog—an apt metaphor for the left’s cowardly tactics.
This assault is not just an attack on Martin but an assault on the rule of law itself. Spitting on a federal officer is a felony, yet the liberal media will undoubtedly downplay this incident, just as they ignore left-wing violence while demonizing conservatives. Where is the outrage from CNN or The New York Times? Their silence is deafening—proof of their complicity in the left’s escalating lawlessness.
President Trump, ever the strong leader, swiftly addressed the situation, announcing he would withdraw Martin’s nomination for DC US Attorney after Senator Thom Tillis sabotaged the confirmation for purely political reasons. “He’s a terrific person,” Trump said of Martin. “He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought. He’s done a very good job. Crime is down 25% in DC.”

True to form, Trump is already moving forward with another stellar pick—reportedly considering the formidable Judge Jeanine Pirro as interim US Attorney. Pirro, a fierce defender of justice, would be a nightmare for the DC swamp and the corrupt establishment that fears accountability. ABC News reports Trump could announce the decision as early as Thursday evening, proving once again that the president acts decisively while Democrats and their media allies enable chaos.
The left’s hatred for Trump’s appointees isn’t about qualifications—it’s about their fear of real law and order. Martin’s crime reduction speaks for itself, yet the radical left would rather spit on progress than acknowledge success. Meanwhile, the liberal media protects these violent activists, refusing to condemn their actions while smearing conservatives as the “real extremists.”

This incident is yet another example of the left’s descent into madness. While Trump and his team work tirelessly to restore safety and justice, the Democrats and their activist allies resort to thuggery. The American people see through the hypocrisy—and in 2024, they will deliver another resounding mandate for Trump’s America First agenda.
