I checked with a Democrat who eye-witnessed this incident (which took place yesterday at an anti-Trump, pro-democracy rally in Leesburg which was attended by Rep. Suhas Subramanyam from VA10), and apparently what happened is as follows:
According to the Democrat who was at the event, the “Trump 2028” a**hole pushed his way through the crowd and the crowd pushed back. Apparently, the “Trump 2028” a**hole didn’t directly push Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA10), but the way he was swinging his sign caused people to move and make contact with Rep. Subramanyam.
According to that same Democrat (also, check out the videos), the “Trump 2028” a**hole was trying to shove his sign in Rep. Subramanyam’s face; there are moments when it’s just inches above Rep. Subramanyman’s head.
Apparently, the “Trump 2028” a**hole wasn’t arrested. Just imagine if this had been a Republican Congressman and a person of color had done this? They’d probably be in an El Salvadoran hell prison by now…
Also, according to the Loudoun Times-Mirror: “The protester holding the Trump 2028 sign…was pardoned by Trump for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.” Because OF COURSE he was! Also, “One holding a ‘Trump 2028’ sign said he came out to show support for the Salvadoran government, which is being paid $15 million to house deportees removed by ICE, according to Sen. Chris Van Hollen,D-Maryland.” Greeeeaaaat.

Subramanyam’s superb responses: “Thank you all for being out here, we’re gonna keep fighting back.”; “We will not be bullied or silenced. We must speak out and make every voice heard.”
By the way, Daily Kos won’t let me post the videos, but screenshots are below. If you want to see the videos, click here.
