Gregory Timm, 27, was charged with aggravated assault after the incident at the Kernan Village shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida.
"The Republican Party of Duval County will not be intimidated by these cowards and we will not be silenced. I call on every Republican in our great city to stand up, get involved, and show these radicals that we will not be intimidated from exercising our Constitutional rights."Mark Alfieri was one of the volunteers who avoided being struck by the van. He told Action News Jax that he was volunteering at the tent with five women when the van came within inches of hitting them.
"Kind of out of the blue, a man approached us in a van, was waving at us, kind of a friendly demeanor, thought he was coming up to talk to us, instead he accelerated his vehicle and plowed right into our tent, our tables," Alfieri told the station. Alfieri said the man then backed up his vehicle, took out his cell phone to film the damage and"made some obscene gestures at us" before driving off.
