Latino Democrat: Trump supporter tried to run me over [View all]

ALBUQUERQUE — A New Mexico Democratic candidate called police after he said an angry Donald Trump supporter tried to run over him and his mother in a parking lot after hurling insults and expletives at them about Hillary Clinton and Democrats.

Sergio S. Gonzalez, a candidate for county commissioner in southern New Mexico, told police a woman attempted to strike him with her car outside the Democratic Party headquarters in Roswell, New Mexico last week following an unprovoked tirade against the Democratic presidential nominee.

According to the 39-year-old retired Marine, the driver approached him, his 72-year-old mother and two others as they stood outside the headquarters. "This lady came out of nowhere and started yelling every dirty word in the book at us," Gonzalez told The Associated Press. "She drove away then came back."
