Viral videos on social media show a conservative activist being assaulted by a “leftist attacker” on Wednesday at Union Station in Washington, D.C.
In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, a woman can be seen approaching conservative activist Cam Higby on the ground while he was sitting in a camp chair at Union Station. The woman can then be seen pushing Higby back in his chair, forcing him to the ground, taking his Make America Great Again hat, and hitting him with the hat before falling over into a nearby bush. While the woman was in the bush, Higby sprayed her with pepper spray in self-defense.
In a caption to the video, Higby wrote, “A leftist decided to physically attack me at Union Station tonight. I deployed mace in self defense.”
In a follow-up post on social media, Higby explained, “I gave at least 4 verbal warnings to cease touching me – and then she attacked.”
In another video, Higby can be heard telling the woman to “walk it off” as she walks away. In response, the woman called the conservative activist a “f-cking idiot.”
Higby told Fox News that Wednesday’s incident highlights the mission of his “Fearless Tour,” which promotes open debate in the face of political opposition. The outlet noted that Higby’s tour was inspired by Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month at Utah Valley University.
According to Fox News, Higby explained that he was visiting Union Station on Wednesday after hosting a debate at the University of Maryland. The conservative activist told Fox News that he was with a group of people who were engaging in conversations with protesters when the leftist woman became combative with him.
“At some point, she dropped to her knees, intentionally … and she started yelling at us and started touching us,” Higby told Fox News. “I told her to back up and stop touching me, and she lunged at me and attacked me.”

Higby told Fox News that when U.S. Park Police arrived at the scene, the woman became combative with law enforcement officials, assaulted the officials, and resisted arrest.
“At this point now, she’s struggling with federal police, and then they tried to arrest her,” the conservative activist stated. “Her dad is yelling at us, ‘why did you spray my daughter,’ as she’s actively fighting with federal police. In my head, I’m thinking, this is why she got sprayed. It took four federal police officers to hold her down, and finally they loaded her into the back of the police car.”
Pictures of the woman were shared by the Fearless Tour. The Fearless Tour identified the woman as Taylor Fox and claimed that she is a public school teacher in Prince George County.
