According to reports, a van accelerated into a group of Trump supporters this afternoon at a shopping center in Jacksonville, FL.
There were six Republican volunteers who were outside the shopping center registering voters when a van came hurtling towards them. Thankfully they were able to narrowly escape the deranged driver, who apparently gave an obscene gesture as he fled the scene.
