Florida woman charged with felony after allegedly assaulting 73-year-old during Charlie Kirk vigil

The Villages Fire Rescue Department responded to aid Jamieson, and witnesses told officers the alleged attack was "unprovoked."

FOX 35 reported Anderson has two prior convictions from June 2001 for misdemeanor battery.

The incident came amid a nationwide wave of protester arrests at similar events held in honor of Kirk, who was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University last week.

Kirk advocated for peaceful and respectful debate, warning against violence.

"What is so important to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully," Kirk said in a now-viral video in which he discussed his mission with a critic.

During a 2020 rally in the community, Trump drew more than 10,000 supporters. 

The Villages also hosted one of MAGA's biggest inauguration bashes for Trump in January.

The community also has a "Democratic Club," though it only had about 1,500 members as of January.
