(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A video that recently surfaced online captured an aggressive Democrat voter unleashing a barrage of profanity-laden insults at a purported GOP poll greeter in Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C.
The target of the expletive-laden outburst was identified as Matthew Hurtt, a seemingly peaceful individual who was handling Republican sample ballots on election day at the time of the incident. The unidentified man approached Hurtt, accusing him and the GOP of attempting to overturn the election.

“You fucking tried to overthrow elections with violence and then you’re out here among decent people,” the man added. “You try to steal my vote next year, I’m going to f—ing remember you personally.”
Following the altercation, the man proceeded to photograph Hurtt, asking in a seemingly sarcastic tone, “Is that alright?” to which Hurtt responded, “It’s a one-party consent state.”
“Shitbird, yeah, one-party state—you want a fucking one-party country,” the man continued, before approaching a bystander and telling him not be “buddy, buddy with these people because they put on a face of a good neighbor.”

Meanwhile, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine highlighted the incident as a stark example of the left’s twisted rhetoric about Republicans.
