If you want to witness how dichromatic America is, this is the right time. From unhinged debates to influential leaders attacking each other, the political circus…I mean…circuit is clearly divided into two ideologies.
Republicans and Democrats are hashing it out in the streets, workplace, and get-togethers; name a place, and you will encounter a debate.
Let’s go back to the year 2018…
Then-president Donald Trump had reached the peak of his right-wing approval rate, and he was not stopping with his passive-aggressive shenanigans. Mr. Trump organized a “Celebration of America” commemorating America’s favorite Superbowl event. However, he did not invite the Philadelphia Eagles, citing that the players have been disrespectful for opting not to stand for the national anthem.
Trump also had beef with the Eagles’ owner, Jeffrey Lurie, who constantly criticized the ex-president. Since 2016, Black NFL players have been “taking the knee” as a protest for racial inequality and police brutality. That was probably one of the reasons he did not invite the Eagles to the 2018 gathering.
But one man was not having it. He heckled the former president during his speech, saying–
“Stop hiding behind the armed services and the National Anthem…Let’s hear it for the Eagles.”
Five years later, the same man is back at it again.
On Tuesday, November 7, 2023, an Arlington Liberal heckled a poll greeter in Virginia on Election day. The raging man approached the Republican poll staff, saying–
“You guys [Republicans] tried to overturn the election, you might as well have been walking up to my head on the way to the polling station and putting a gun to my head, and trying to tell me not to vote.”
The man was identified as Brendan Anthony Martin, who is also a federal contractor and was appointed as the technical administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) foster care system.
Martin was the same man who interrupted Trump’s speech in 2018.
What We Know About Brendan Anthony Martin?
Marco Polo, “The Opposition Research Group for the American People,” ran the visuals from the viral video through face recognition and determined that the man who aggressively approached the poll greeter was Brendan Anthony Martin.
Per Martin’s LinkedIn profile, he is designated in an authority position, monitoring the foster care system. To be more precise, he is the technical administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Some reports also confirm that Martin is a long-time federal contractor. The Arlington native is a Liberal and often opposed Trump’s policies.
Why Did A Liberal Threaten the Republican Poll Greeter in Arlington?
Matthew Hurtt is a poll worker and the director of professional services at the Leadership Institute. On November 7, he was assigned to be a Republican Poll Greeter in Arlington, Virginia.
While he was doing his job of handing out Republican Sample Ballots to the voters outside the polling station N, he was confronted by an unhinged man who started offending him.
The man, now identified as Breandan Anthony Martin, approached him aggressively, saying–
“You guys [Republicans] tried to overturn the election; you might as well have been walking up to my head on the way to the polling station and putting a gun to my head and trying to tell me not to vote.”
Hurtt immediately whipped out his phone to record this man. A few moments later, Martin threatened the poll greeter, saying–
“You try to steal my vote next year; I’m going to f*cking remember you personally.”
This display of disgraceful conduct will only hamper the Democrats’ reputation. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and opinions, and attacking someone doing their job is an obstruction of labor.
What is your take on this case? Do you agree that the Liberal was violating the right to choose by threatening the opposition?
Should Martin be removed from his position? Let us know in the comments section below.

He should be arrested and charged, because harassing, intimidating, and threatening a poll worker is a class 5 felony in Virginia.
