DRIVER RAN UP OVER CURB TO ATTACK TRUMP SIGN WAVERS AT RT. 235 AND RT. 4; NO DEPUTY AVAILABLE TO ANSWER CALL FOR HELP

CALIFORNIA, MD – During a Republican campaign sign-waving event on October 21, 2024, just before six o’clock in the evening, an unknown woman motorist drove a white car up over the curb at the intersection of Rt. 4 and Rt. 235 directly in front of the Wawa, scattering the sign-wavers and moving up and over their drinks, and one container of iced tea exploded from the contact before driving away, southbound on Rt. 235. None of the sign wavers expected such an attack and had cameras out and ready to video any interactions.

The campaign team was boosting the candidacies of President Donald Trump and school board candidate Brandie Edelen. 

“We were out there for about two hours,” GOP Central Committee Chair Jennifer Boyd told THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY, “people were friendly, waving and honking horns, and it was a beautiful day with many positive results. Many people pulled into the parking lot and parked, coming over to us and asking for signs. One woman came over and wanted to shake hands to thank us for supporting President Trump. One man went into the Wawa and bought bottles of water for all of us. And then this happened. We were startled. We called the police, who said they were swamped with priority calls and couldn’t send anyone out. One officer was supposed to contact Brandie Edelen, who was also there with her husband Gary and would take a report.”

The St. Mary’s Sheriff’s Department finally responded to Brandie Edelen’s home at about nine o’clock to take a report. However, no response from St. Mary’s Sheriff Steve Hall was received prior to the deadline. If such a response is forthcoming, this article will be updated.

Edelen said that her mother was present as well, and they waited as long as they could for a deputy to arrive. However, some of the older women present needed to leave because they needed to get home before dark. GOP Central Committee Member Jacinta Bottoms Spencer.
