Woman caught on camera allegedly lunging at MAGA activist in viral confrontation

A physical confrontation at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station went viral after conservative activist Cam Higby pepper-sprayed a woman who was seen on video allegedly lunging at him and hitting him with his MAGA hat — an incident he said underscores his mission to confront political hostility head-on while promoting open debate through his “Fearless Tour,” inspired by late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Higby, who said his mission is to expose violence on the left and promote peaceful political dialogue, visited Union Station after hosting a debate event Wednesday at the University of Maryland.

In a phone interview Thursday with Fox News Digital, Higby explained the group was sitting and having conversations with nearby protesters when a woman approached him and started being combative.

Higby is no stranger to violence, having been allegedly attacked in June at an anti-ICE rally in downtown Seattle.

In the June 14 incident, he was filmed being attacked by three men who tried to rip off his gear, choke and beat him before he pepper-sprayed one assailant in self-defense. 

Higby said he suffered a concussion, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms that required ER and urgent care treatment.

“I’ve come to the point where I carry Mace on me at all times,” he said. “I think I show incredible restraint with the points at which I use my Mace, because I personally think after four verbal warnings not to touch me, it would have been perfectly valid to use it. … The roles are reversed, and I’m overly criticized because it’s a woman, but I don’t know what she has on her, and I’m not going to throw a punch at her. I think that using Mace is way better [alternative].”

On college campuses, Higby and his group have become known for setting up debate tables modeled after Kirk’s style, with signs reading, “The left is violent! Let’s Debate!” 

While critics argue the messaging can spark heated reactions, Higby noted the most recent Union Station incident unfolded without any signage present, where the only thing identifying his group were their MAGA hats.

“We want people fired up. We want people to be excited to talk about political issues, but what we don’t invite people to do is touch us, and that’s the problem,” he said. “I think most of my takes are pretty reasonable. That’s your problem, not my problem—if you have such low impulse control that you can’t stop yourself from using physical violence.”
