Trump supporter attacks comic
A Donald Trump supporter hurled a glass at comic John Caparulo for poking fun at the president, hitting him square in the stomach.
The stand-up was performing in Hermosa Beach, California, when he started joking about the Washington Monument and how it was nothing but a 'big fucking pencil'.
'Some people think it looks like a dick,' he added. 'But I think they're saving that design for Trump's monument."
That proved too much for one woman in the front row, who replied with a 'Fuck you' and made a big play of getting her bag and coat and leaving.
'No, fuck you, stupid,' Caparulo shot back. 'What are you, his fucking mum? Get the fuck out of here. Oh God, am I the first one to dislike Trump? Oh my God, I must've invented disliking Donald Trump….'
'I'll go', the woman said angrily as she walked away
Caparulo didn't let up, telling her: 'Hey, on your way out, remember, you can suck my balls anytime you want, alright. Fucking break up my show, lady, you know what you can come up here and do this shit…'
As he was ranting, the woman's companion also got up to leave – and threw here glass towards the stage with some force, hitting Caparulo firmly in the belly.
He said: 'That hurt – a little bit – I gotta admit that hurt.'
Some in the audience cursed at the women as they left, but Caparulo, with one shouting out to Caparulo: 'Thank you, she was a bitch all night.'
Gossip website TMZ, which broke the story, reports that the heckler then left the Comedy & Magic Club without any further incident.
Here's the incident:
