US EditionChair of Hernando Democratic Party Arrested During 'No Kings' Protest
Brian Stewart was arrested after a physical altercation at a political protest; the Florida GOP demands his removal, citing concerns over political violence and leadership accountability.
- On Saturday, Hernando County Democratic Party Chair Brian Stewart was arrested in Spring Hill on a misdemeanor battery charge following an altercation at a "No Kings" protest.
- The arrest followed a confrontation where Stewart allegedly shoved a counter-protester with a megaphone, though the Hernando Sun noted a 12-second video "does not present a clear picture of the confrontation."
- Following the arrest, the Republican Party of Florida demanded Florida Democratic Chair Nikki Fried "immediately remove" Stewart, citing the alleged physical assault on a disabled veteran during the protest.
- Stewart was released Saturday after posting a $1,000 bond and faces an April 27 court date; a simple battery conviction in Florida carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
- Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power condemned the incident as evidence that "inflammatory rhetoric from the radical Left" is fueling violence, while neither the Hernando County Democratic Party nor the Florida Democratic Party have released official statements.
