Justice Is Back: Antifa-Style Punk Allegedly Sprays Paint at Trump Supporter's Eyes, Looks Terrified as Cops Nail Him

Unhinged radicals on the American left hit peak hysteria in 2020, the final year of President Donald Trump’s initial term in office.

Now, as Trump’s second administration begins, these extremists remain just as erratic, but the public’s patience for their antics has worn thin.

A now-viral 90-second clip posted Monday on the social media platform X captures a tense moment outside the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. In the footage, police detain a young individual in a dark hoodie—who closely resembles an antifa agitator—for allegedly spraying blue paint in the face of a male Trump supporter who was recording the event.

The video clearly depicts the Trump supporter with blue paint smeared across the left side of his face.

“Spray painting is free speech, my a**,” the man shouted at his alleged attacker. “You’re going to jail, bro.”

Meanwhile, the masked suspect—wearing the signature face covering of the COVID era—attempted to walk away, accompanied by another individual whose identity remains ambiguous. The two remained silent.

Around 11 seconds into the clip, the Trump supporter and a younger male approached Capitol Police, describing what had just happened. Officers then detained the suspect, who carried a backpack.

“Spray paint’s in his bag. It’s blue. It’s all over my phone, all over my glasses, all over the side of my head,” the alleged victim explained as two officers restrained the suspect while two others examined his belongings.

A female bystander then stated that she had captured the incident on video.

Eventually, one officer removed the suspect’s winter hat, revealing a nervous young man attempting to conceal his identity behind the cloth mask—just as one might expect.

Journalist Nick Sortor shared the footage Monday afternoon on X, where, by Tuesday morning, it had amassed over 1.7 million views.

WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that may be offensive to some readers. 

The alleged victim, known as “1776 M.G. MEDIA” on X, runs an account dedicated to pro-Trump content.

On Tuesday, “1776 M.G. MEDIA” took a lighthearted approach to the situation, sharing an image that humorously compared his own paint-covered face to that of Mel Gibson’s character in the 1995 film “Braveheart,” channeling a defiant, Trump-like attitude.

At first glance, the altercation outside the Capitol on Monday provides reason for optimism.

Back in 2020—amid the chaos of COVID restrictions and Black Lives Matter riots—radical leftists brazenly defied law enforcement. Their lawlessness was permitted, even encouraged, to cultivate the disorder necessary for establishment figures to manipulate the election in favor of then-candidate Joe Biden.

Now, however, the landscape is different. While unhinged leftist agitators persist, Trump has pushed the tyrannical establishment and its deep-state allies into retreat.

So, while the police detaining the Trump supporter’s alleged attacker outside the Capitol doesn’t mark an ultimate victory, it certainly indicates which way the political winds are shifting.
