Democratic congressman punched in racist attack at Sundance film festival
The Florida congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost said he was assaulted by a man who said Donald Trump would deport him at a party during the Sundance film festival in Utah.
“Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face,” Frost said in a Saturday post on X. “He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.”
The 29-year-old lawmaker, who made history as the first Afro-Cuban and the first member of Gen Z to be elected to Congress, thanked venue security and Park City police for their response to the incident.
