The dog walker told Ed Martin has was a "disgusting man."
Ed Martin — the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters-representing lawyer who President Donald Trump on Thursday dropped as his pick for U.S. attorney for D.C. — was spat at by a passerby during a live interview with NewsMax.
The far-right MAGA supporter was talking about his nomination being nixed when a woman walking her dog approached him, shouted “you are Ed Martin,” spat at him and then walked off saying, “You are a disgusting man.”
NewsMax shared footage of the moment on social media:
Trump abandoned his backing of Martin after it became clear he likely wouldn’t get confirmed in the Senate.
