- On Monday night, October 12, Blake called Trump a fascist in Youngstown while wearing a homemade T-shirt.
- According to Blake, at least three men subdued her; one punched her head and pulled her hair before officers escorted her out.
- She reported hospitalization, bruising, back pain, hair pulled out, and a split lip after the incident.
- Trump weighed at least 238 pounds at his last medical examination; at the rally, he mocked Blake over her weight.
The president of the ‘free’ world mocking me makes me feel many things. It makes me think about how weak and pathetic of a man he is that he has to consistently punch down on women, instead of trying to uplift others. He is a disgrace to the title of president because he is not; he is a dictator.— Blake, the protester from Ohio, speaking in an interview with PunchUp, The Daily Beast’s sister Substack, about the incident.
