Democrats turn nasty as elderly liberal SLAPS young Republican voter around the face at New Hampshire polling station

An irate liberal man was caught on camera Tuesday slapping a young Republican voter across the face outside of a polling place in New Hampshire.

The shocking incident occurred as Turning Point Action, the political advocacy group founded by the late Charlie Kirk, was tabling outside of a polling place at Woodland Heights School in Laconia.

It is now being investigated by police in Belknap County, according to the county Republican Committee, which condemned the attack along with the county Democrats.

Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, meanwhile, slammed the incident as 'more despicable behavior from the left.'

'This young man with [Turning Point Action] clearly made his points and this left-wing nut assaulted him,' she posted on X as video of the assault spread online, adding that she trusts local police 'will take care of this ASAP.' 

In the footage from the incident, the angry elderly man could be seen confronting an 18-year-old who was tabling for the conservative advocacy group.

'You have no idea who I am, so how dare you say I don't know much,' the unidentified attacker told the Turning Point Action member, who was wearing a Freedom hat and sweatshirt.

The soon-to-be victim then responded calmly, telling the older gentleman that he had not 'presented a single statistic.'

But that seemed to make him even angrier.

He stayed calm. The left got violent.

'Neither have you,' he shouted back. 'God d***, I cannot believe that bulls**t.

'You sit there and dare to look me in the face and say I don't know anything,' he continued, before putting a middle finger in the man's face.

'That's what I know,' he then said, as he slapped the Turning Point Action member across the face and walked away. 

Turning Point Action has since praised the teenager, who the group said 'stood his ground' amid the confrontation.

'He stayed calm. The left got violent,' the group posted on X.

It then advised the public: 'Don't cede the ground, show up to the polls.

'Your vote helps us outnumber these people.' 

 In a separate statement posted online, the Belknap County Republican Committee said it 'condemns all forms of violence both in and outside of the political process.'

'We will not tolerate any such attacks as our fellow citizens practice our most fundamental right to engage in democracy.'

The Belknap County Democratic Committee also posted online that it 'condemns political violence of any kind.'

The incident came just hours after former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski, a three-time Super Bowl winner, signed jerseys and posed for photos with voters at New Hampshire's Bedford High School, joined by his longtime girlfriend, Camille Kostek. 

He was one of numerous athletes to head out in the state, where several competitive races were playing out, including a potentially pivotal US Senate contest between Democrat Chris Pappas and Republican John Sununu.

Gronkowski, who has not been politically outspoken but is a registered Republican in Florida where he resides, said his presence was all about encouraging voters to turn out and have their say. 

'And the air is brisk and the people are just so wonderful,' he told Boston 25 News. 'And just taking pictures with everyone that are coming out here to vote.
