An older man was caught on video engaging in an erratic rant toward a teenage boy before blatantly striking him in the face.<\/p>\n

The clip, posted to X by user Austin Dunn, puts the scene at the Woodland Heights polling location in New Hampshire. The man is screaming in the face of an 18-year-old working the Turning Point Action booth before things get physical.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n

Calmest guy at the polling place today in NH was the 18-year old that got swung at. We want conversation, not violence! https:\/\/t.co\/NymQw04VbF<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have no idea who I am!\u201d the man shouted at the young man, who has his hand in his pocket. \u201cAnd so how dare you say I don\u2019t know much!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t presented a single statistic, you haven\u2019t-\u201d the teen began before the much older man cut him off with more screaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither have you! God d**n! I cannot believe that bulls**t! You sit there and dare to look me in the face and say I don\u2019t know anything,\u201d he said, flipping the young man off before backhanding him. \u201cThat\u2019s what I know.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then walked away, likely afraid of getting the same treatment<\/a> as the young student who tackled conservative Jewish activist Lizzy Benichou. That didn\u2019t stop him from swearing at the women who called him out for his violent behavior. From behind the camera, you can hear someone advise that the police should be called as the elder continues to make his less-than-swift getaway.<\/p>\n

A report from WMUR<\/a> indicates that police were notified of the incident and are investigating. Laconia Mayor Mike Bordes also shared the video to his social media, calling the act \u201cabsolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have no idea who I am!\u201d<\/p>\n

Um, I have a feeling the whole internet is about to find out though.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a small state. Surely someone knows this jerk. Drop a dime.<\/p>\n

It is ALWAYS hate and violence with this crowd. Is a civil conversation really that hard for them?<\/p>\n

I hope this man is charged with assault.<\/p>\n

More despicable behavior from the Left.<\/p>\n

I trust New Hampshire law enforcement will take care of this ASAP.<\/p>\n

This young man with @TPAction calmly made his points, and this left-wing nut job assaulted him.<\/p>\n

time to stop being gay pussies who get punched in the face or shot in the neck and do nothing<\/p>\n

Old libs are wretched. They think they\u2019re entitled to assault anyone whose politics diverge from John Lennon\u2019s Imagine.<\/p>\n
