The Union Station Assault: When Free Speech Meets Leftist Intolerance
On October 1, 2025, conservative journalist Cam Higby was assaulted at Union Station in Washington, D.C., while wearing a MAGA hat during his “Fearless Tour.” Video shows Maryland teacher Taylor Alexandra Forte lunging at Higby, ripping off his hat, and striking him before being pepper-sprayed in self-defense. The attack, now viral online, has sparked outrage over political violence and calls for Forte’s termination, raising broader questions about free speech, public safety, and accountability in taxpayer-funded schools.
