VIDEO: Trump Campaign Chief Brad Parscale Dropped By Police In Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Wow — the freakshow is officially here, folks. 2020 election season, under the already strange backdrop of a global viral pandemic, anti-police demonstrations across the country, and economic unease… comes this.

Watch the arrest of former Trump digital campaign chief Brad Parscale below

Trump’s campaign chief until July (now a former chairman) and current senior adviser on the 2020 re-election campaign, Brad Parscale, was knocked down to the ground and arrested outside of his Fort Lauderdale, Florida residence earlier today.

A shirtless, beer wielding Parscale tried to keep a calm demeanor in his brief engagement with police, but they took him down nonetheless, perhaps because it has been alleged Parscale was hitting his wife prior to the police arriving on the scene.

Police confiscated 10 firearms from the Parscale residence.

He is currently being held by authorities on a 72 hour mental health hold.

Brad Parscale’s role in the campaign will no doubt be downplayed by Trump media surrogates over the next news cycle, yet Parscale was influential in Trump’s camp — he held the pursestrings for online ad buys, and presumably had significant contact with Facebook, Google, and other platforms where the campaign has spent heavily.

There are also allegations he was compensated in the eight figure range for his 2020 work on the campaign’s digital efforts.
