Ed Martin just had one of the worst days of his political career.
President Trump delivered some tough news about a RINO back-stabbing him as the nominee for the Washington, D.C. prosecutor role.
But what happened next on live television left Martin completely shell-shocked and viewers across America gasping in disbelief.
During a Newsmax interview discussing President Trump’s decision to tap Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro instead of Martin for the U.S. Attorney position, an unhinged woman walking her dog suddenly interrupted the broadcast.
The wild confrontation was captured on camera as the woman aggressively approached Martin, pointing her finger directly in his face.
“You are Ed Martin,” she said with a level of hostility that would make Nancy Pelosi proud.
Before Martin could even respond, the woman unleashed a stream of verbal abuse and then did the unthinkable – she spit directly in Martin’s face, the disgusting assault caught in real-time on national television.
Shocking on-air assault leaves viewers stunned
The shocking footage has now spread like wildfire across social media, with millions of views and thousands of comments from outraged Americans.
All hell broke loose online as viewers watched the disturbing assault on a Trump nominee who was simply giving an interview about his career.

Many have pointed out that this type of behavior seems to emerge whenever the Trump administration makes progress on its agenda.
Martin’s jaw-dropping ambush came just hours after President Trump announced his decision regarding Martin’s nomination.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump explained about Martin, acknowledging the bipartisan concerns about the conservative activist’s background.
Trump, showing his legendary loyalty, didn’t leave Martin without a position. The President announced Martin will instead serve as an associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney – still giving him an important role in the administration.
Martin’s current role as acting D.C. U.S. Attorney will expire on May 20, but his horrifying public assault will live forever in the minds of Americans who witnessed it.
The brutal attack exposed the nightmare scenario many Trump supporters face when they step into the public arena.
This isn’t the first time a Trump ally has been attacked in public, but the brazen daylight assault during a live television interview takes things to a disturbing new level.
Many viewers were left wondering where security was during this vicious encounter and why a deranged assailant was able to get so close to a Trump nominee.
The Newsmax host appeared momentarily stunned as the woman stomped away with her dog in tow, leaving Martin to wipe the spit from his face in disgust.
Martin, showing remarkable restraint, maintained his composure throughout the shocking assault – demonstrating the dignity that Trump supporters have learned to maintain when confronted by unhinged attackers.
Trump stands by Martin with new Justice Department role
While Martin’s career path may have taken an unexpected turn with the nomination withdrawal, the disgusting attack he endured shows exactly what the radical anti-Trump mob is willing to do to anyone associated with making America great again.
Law enforcement has not yet announced if the woman will face assault charges, despite the attack being clearly documented on video and witnessed by thousands of viewers in real-time.
President Trump’s decision to nominate Judge Jeanine Pirro represents another bold move to place strong, America First champions in key positions throughout the Justice Department, continuing his commitment to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.
The woman who attacked Martin may have thought she was sending a message, but all she did was show the world the true face of anti-Trump hatred.
