""We are going to deport you and your kind.""
""Trump has brought out the worst in everybody,""
""People are just really emboldened and it's a really scary time.""
""He was being a normal drunk guy at a bar and just being belligerent. Out of nowhere, completely, he got very racist.""
Representative Maxwell Frost was approached and assaulted at a bar in Park City, Utah, after a man shouted a deportation threat and a racial slur and then punched him in the face. The assailant fled but was arrested soon after with venue security's help and was booked on suspicion of aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official, and assault. The attack took place at a CAA party celebrating the Sundance Film Festival's final year in Park City. Capitol Police are involved in the investigation. Incendiary presidential comments and actions are being cited as emboldening hostility and raising safety concerns.
