A 15-year-old girl protesting outside of a Donald Trump rally in Janesville, Wisconsin, Tuesday ended up getting pepper-sprayed in the face after a heated yelling match erupted. A video of the incident online shows the scuffle began when the teenager, who was protesting Trump's "white supremacy," accuses an older man of touching her breasts. "Can't help you, I never touched you," the man says, holding up his hands as he denies the accusation.
The girl then pushes back toward the man and seemingly attempts to throw a punch when, suddenly, another person in the crowd pepper-sprays her in the face. The man who the girl was shouting at as well as some bystanders can be heard cheering as the girl exits the crowd, grabbing her face.
