At a rally in Iowa last night, a protester attempted to hit Donald Trump with a tomato. Twice.
Here’s the video of the near-misses:

And here’s the mugshot of Andrew Alemao, the loser that was arrested over the attempted assault:

Alemao, however, is only being charged with disorderly conduct:
In a news release, officials said Andrew Joseph Alemao, 28, was observed throwing two tomatoes at Trump, the real estate mogul and front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Alemao is charged with disorderly conduct, a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $625 or 30 days in prison.
That’s only a “simple misdemeanor”???
