Machete-wielding MAGA fan arrested for intimidating Dem voters

A machete-wielding teenager was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly trying to intimidate two women who were holding signs in support of Vice President Kamala Harris at the Beaches Branch Library in Neptune Beach, Florida.

The Neptune Beach Police Department said that 18-year-old Caleb James Williams tried to intimidate two unidentified women, aged 54 and 71, by brandishing a machete while they stood outside of a polling place.

Local Democratic officials say that Williams was part of "a group of young men waving signs supporting former President Donald Trump" who "confronted a group holding signs promoting Kamala Harris," reports NBC News.

Neptune Beach Police Chief Michael J. Key Jr. backed up the Democrats' assessment of Williams's motivation and said that his group "arrived to protest and antagonize the opposing political side."

Key added that, after an argument broke out between Trump supporters and Harris supporters, Williams "brandished a machete in an aggressive, threatening posture over his head."

He also said that Williams's group "was there for no other reason but for ill intentions, to cause a disturbance."

Williams now faces charges of aggravated assault and improper exhibition of a weapon, according to Neptune Beach Police.
