The celebratory mood at the christening of a Valdosta, Georgia Trump campaign field office was marred last week when Sam Carnline an ornery “Stop the Steal” activist disrupted Republican State House member John LaHood’s face time with constituents to scream about the GOP’s “election integrity” failures, starting a melee in which MAGA Congressman Mike Collins’s top political aide Brandon Phillips ended up spitting in Carnline’s face, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Cops responded but no arrests were made. “Brandon Phillips got in the middle of the conversation because he didn’t like the questions [Carnline] was asking,” said a police report the AJC obtained.

“Words were exchanged between he and Brandon, because he was upset that Brandon spit in his face,” which Phillips denied. LaHood and other witnesses claimed Carnline punched Phillips at least twice, but cops concluded it was justified because of the spitting. “I informed Brandon that he instigated the incident by spitting on Carnline,” the cop wrote in the report. “Both parties agreed to separate and go their separate ways with no further law enforcement action needed.”

“I’m proud of Brandon because Brandon didn’t lay one finger on Sam Carnline. It wasn’t a fight. This was Sam trying to be a bully,” said Republican activist Dennis Futch, adding “there’s no place for violence for either party,” to get in some bothsides-ing of this type of stupid bullshit.
