A group of liberal protesters were involved in a car crash with a campaign vehicle for Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday outside a campaign stop in Grinnell, Iowa.
The scene outside the coffee house where Ramaswamy appeared included a handful of protesters who shouted obscenities at the candidate. One of the protesters inside the blue Honda Civic appeared to give Ramaswamy the middle finger and blared the car horn. Police said the campaign and the driver told officers the crash was not intentional, according to local outlet KCCI.
