Deplorable? 69-year-old woman punched in face by Trump supporter outside NC rally
She has protested her whole life, she said. Now, she adds Trump's campaign to the list of things she's protested against.

"Why did I get involved yesterday at my age? Because I ran into another situation that was sickening my heart," she said Tuesday afternoon outside Cafe 64 in downtown Asheville.

"Whenever groups of them would start chanting 'Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump' I would chant back, 'Dump, dump, dump, dump.' It was kind of comical," Teter said.
After the rally, Teeter experienced something she had never seen in all of her protests. The peace teetered over.
"I said you better learn to speak Russian, and I said the first two words are going to be, ha ha. He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me," Teter said.
She was punched in the face.
She says she fell on her oxygen tank and has sore ribs, a sore jaw, and cut her elbow. She later went to the hospital and is thankful she did not break any bones.
