Chaos erupted at a vigil for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk when 73-year-old organizer was allegedly pushed to the ground by a Florida woman, leading to a felony arrest.

The incident occurred during a vigil organized by “The Villages MAGA Club,” at a retirement community known as “America’s Friendliest Hometown,” in Central Florida, honoring Kirk at a local medical center on Sunday.

According to arrest records, Courtney Beth Anderson, 56, arrived at the gathering, “yelling and raising her middle finger toward everyone present,” as reported by FOX 35 Orlando.

The Villages, one of the largest retirement communities globally and a Republican bastion, has previously hosted President Donald Trump.

During a 2020 rally in the community, Trump drew more than 10,000 supporters. 

The Villages also hosted one of MAGA’s biggest inauguration bashes for Trump in January.

The community also has a “Democratic Club,” though it only had about 1,500 members as of January.
