South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Leaves Trump Event Unharmed After Man Brandishes Weapon

Katherine Rodriguez 28 Oct 2020

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem had to abruptly leave an event supporting President Donald Trump in Maine Wednesday morning after a man allegedly brandished two weapons during the rally.

Maggie Seidel, a senior policy adviser for Noem, told the Sioux Falls Argus Leader police arrested a man after he brandished two weapons during a Trump rally in Bangor, Maine.

The rally was the first of several planned campaign stops Noem is making Thursday in Maine and neighboring New Hampshire.

South Dakota state troopers who travel with the governor immediately sprung into action to ensure the governor’s safety.

“Two South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers, who were serving as the governor’s security detail Wednesday in Maine, encountered a person brandishing a weapon in an area where the governor and others were located,” Tony Mangan, spokesman for the Highway Patrol, said in a statement.

Neither Noem nor the troopers protecting her were harmed in the incident.

Trump did not attend the rally.

Noem’s east coast appearances come as Trump and Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden hold rallies across the country in their final push before the November 3 election.

Noem, who is a surrogate for Trump, has made at least eight out-of-state trips in October to support Trump and other down-ballot Republicans facing reelection.

Peter Beitzell, 58, of Bangor, allegedly exchanged words and harassed those at the rally and at one point brandished a wooden baton and a large fixed-blade knife, said Sgt. Wade Betters of the Bangor Police Department.

He said he displayed the weapons because he felt threatened by three men who approached him. One turned out to be a South Dakota police officer, but the man refused requests to show a badge, he said.

“Yes, I was an idiot,” Beitzell said. “I was a dummy who pulled a weapon, but there were three of them marching over toward me,” he added.

It's actually a tactic they've been using.

Well...true but that does not mean they aren't mental.  Would you do it?  BRANDISH a gun and knife?

They will get someone crazy to do it yes, but that doesn't mean it's random.
