Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

Domestic terrorist. She was attacked by a domestic terrorist. This crime would seem to meet the DHS definition.
We need to start calling this crap what it is.
Damn right it does. This individual needs to be charged and prosecuted.

This guy should definitely face punishment, but maybe we shouldn’t dilute the term “domestic terrorism” with something like this…
What else do you call an unprovoked, politically charged attack?
In this case? Assault and battery.
Assault and battery are tools used by terrorists in terroristic ways, though. It can be both.
This isn’t on the same level of terrorism as a whole group doing the terror, but it’s still terrorism by definition, because it is politically motivated. This kid assaulted this old lady in order to terrorize her from exercising her political rights.
We absolutely should apply the DHS definition to crimes that match that definition. We should also prosecute those who put people’s lives in danger in violent attacks motivated by a desire to suppress free and open elections to the fullest extent of the law.
Otherwise the terrorists win.
on one hand, you’re absolutely right. this was an attack between individuals.
on the other hand, it is their definition. frankly, they won’t hesitate to call us domestic terrorists for protesting against the reduction or complete removal of our civil liberties.
i say let the judge, judge. criminal intent is important in cases like these.
