A Florida supporter of President Donald Trump has been charged with a misdemeanor after deputies say he punched a Joe Biden supporter in a dispute between the neighbors over their yard signs.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that Anthony “Tony” Vullo, 55, is charged with misdemeanor battery after Volusia County sheriff’s deputies say he punched his 48-year-old neighbor, Joseph Lebert, on Friday outside their homes in DeBary.
According to court records, Vullo had pulled up Lebert’s Biden sign and tossed it into Lebert’s yard. Vullo toldthe political tension erupted recently over a pair of competing political signs reporters he did it because Lebert had put up his sign to block his Trump sign.
Lebert confronted Vullo and Vullo punched him in the face, deputies and a neighbor say. Vullo told the paper that Lebert swung at him first.
Vullo was released from jail Saturday and ordered to stay away from Lebert.

What gets me most is – people who clearly cannot even run their own lives in a sane and orderly fashion…get this upset over and are that worried about who should run the country? Like…how about ya get your own house in order…get your own self and your own little section of the world in order and THEN worry about who is in the White House.
Like this guy. He’s so upset about someone not liking Trump but…Trump is IN the White House right now. Did it make his little corner of the world peaceful and happy? No. Would Biden in the White House have made it peaceful and happy? No. What makes our world good or bad is us…we the people…acting like decent human beings regardless of who happens to have (the misfortune of having) the job of president.
So tired of our mindless population thinking they’re gonna make the world a better place by promoting politicians. Just be freaking nice to your neighbor. Put your cart away at the grocery store. Don’t be a d**k – it doesn’t matter who is president.

Well that’s a twist…usually it’s the other way around, this is the first time I’ve heard of heard of a Republican acting like a liberal.
