Newt Gingrich Campaign Staffers Break the Foot of Florida Voter Eddie Dillard

The Newt Gingrich staff may be in trouble for assaulting a Florida voter. Eddie Dillard was holding a Ron Paul sign when Gingrich showed up at the Florida polling location to greet voters as they showed up to vote.

Campaigning at a Florida polling place Tuesday, Gingrich was greeted by Dillard, who held his Paul sign as Gingrich supporters rallied around their candidate.

Gingrich staffers were not pleased with this and, according to a report by Yahoo! News’ Chris Moody, encouraged one another to physically impede the flip-flop wearing Dillard.

One Gingrich security staffer stood in front of Dillard and, according to Moody, “lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard’s bare foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette.”

“Just block him!” said another Gingrich campaign aide. “Everyone step on his toes!”

Following the event, Dillard realized that a bruise was forming on his foot.

It turns out his foot is broken. Gingrich's thugs broke this man's foot who was only exercising his First Amendment right and his duty to vote.

Ron Paul has commented on the incident noting the Gingrich campaign should pay for the man's medical bills.
