You cannot make this stuff up.
From an article posted at Fox News, in Winston-Salem North Carolina:
Thechairwoman of the Stokes County Democratic Party told King policethat the man she is accusedof assaulting Tuesday had argued with her and called her aprofane name and a liar before she kicked him in the groin and threwherbal tea on him, according to the Winston-SalemJournal.
VivianFulk also told Chief Paula May that John Payton Bates had followedher around the outside of the American Legion Post, a polling place.
Fulk,55, of Goff Road in King, is charged with misdemeanor simple assault,according to an arrest warrant.
Fulkdeclined Wednesday to comment about the incident, which occurredElection Day in the parking lot of Post 290 at 446 S. Main St. inKing, police said.
Batesadmitted Wednesday that he called Fulk a profane name, but deniedthat he sought a confrontation with her.
Batessaid he and Fulk had exchanged harsh words throughout the day.Shortly before the incident, Bates said Fulk called him a liar.
Batessaid he then called Fulk the profane slur. She overheard him, Batessaid.
Fulkdemanded that Bates apologize to her, but Bates said he refused.
Fulkthen threatened to kick him in the groin, Bates said. As he turnedtoward her, Fulk kicked him, Bates said.
Batessaid he doubled over, and Fulk knocked him to the ground and hit himwith the tea.
Shealso kicked him twice on his left leg, Bates said. Bates said hesuffered minor, but painful injuries to his left elbow and leftshoulder.
The moral of this story? Don\’t be ballsy enough to mess with a foot-soldier of the Democrat party – especially one who drinks herbal tea. You just might be fulked for your efforts.
On the other hand, at least she was an herbal tea drinker. Cranberry juice is much harder to clean off of clothes.
I\’m sure there are 100 other snappy reactions to this incident…and I\’ll leave it for you to do the other 99. I\’m too busy spontaneously doubling over in pain at the thought of what happened to Master….uh, I mean Mister Bates.
