A woman who decided to insert herself into a conversation at a downtown Washington, D.C., restaurant to voice her support of President Donald Trump was attacked by two women, the woman told police.

According to NBC Washington 4, Metropolitan police are looking for the two women as persons of interests in a felony assault after the alleged attack inside Surfside restaurant on N Street Northwest.

The woman told police that she went into the restaurant about 1:40 a.m. on March 16 and overheard a conversation between two women and a man. At some point, she thought it was fair game to interrupt the conversation to say, “I support Donald Trump.”
