Woman Pleads Guilty To Throwing Drink At Congressman Matt Gaetz

August 2, 2019

The woman accused of throwing a drink at Congressman Matt Gaetz during a June town hall meeting in Pensacola has pleaded guilty in federal court.

Amanda L. Kondrat’Yev, 35, was charged with assaulting a U.S. Congressman for throwing the drink at Gaetz as he was leaving his “We Won’t Back Down” town hall event at a Pensacola restaurant. The drink hit Gaetz in the back as he was making his way to his waiting car outside the main entrance of the Brew Ha Ha Restaurant.

She will be sentenced in October.

Kondrat’yev ran against Gaetz for his Congressional seat in 2016, along with Cris Dosev and Mark Wichern. She is also the lead plaintiff in the Bayview Cross case against the City of Pensacola.

    Stand your ground needs to be extended to cover situations like this.

    Did she not realize she is in the United States? Will she come out protesting for better jail food? Damn right, she’s charged. She is totally uncivilized.

    She makes us moderate Democrats look bad. Yes, we do exist. I guess we would be considered independents now lol The “moderate dems” got absorbed into the independent party by default when AOC and the “squad” established how far off they are.
    What happened to common sense? Seriously

    She faces a year according to one article. That may be more than she actually gets but nonetheless it will give her the time to write her “Mein Kampf” while in the cell.

    Federal Court…perfect!…… I’d highly doubt that she’ll get a slap on the wrist for this aberrant assault, especially in light of the multiple recent publicized videos showing police officers being assaulted with buckets of waters and the like. Of course, IMO those disrespectful hooligans turds weren’t raised properly and think their behavior is funny. She, on the other hand, is just a fringe whack-a-do that needs a stark reality check behind bars, for a good little while!

    She obviously has too much time on her hands and 30 days will only make her a martyr and hero in the views of her like minded loonies. I’m not sure if this is a misdemeanor or a felony, but atleast 364 days in jail will be a good starting point.

    Let her kick start her 3hp broomstick and fly away…

    Do a little research and you will find her anti-government and militant group affiliations run deep. She is not as dumb as she looks. She and her cronies have a clear agenda that involves violence and threats towards Government officials on the Right.

    She’s going to lose her case against the city and the cross, too!

    This is how the left nut jobs act. They pout and cry and lose there cool and then they become violent.She needed to be spanked when she young but wait they can throw you in jail for this in today’s crazy world.

    You could have washed down a burger and fries with that drink, and speech is free – been better to have hurled an insult and avoided being put under the thumb of the legal system. Oh well now I’m thirsty and hungry…

  12. retired on August 2nd, 2019 9:05 am

    give her about 30 days in jail.

  13. Tee bug on August 2nd, 2019 9:00 am

    She’s getting just what she wants “attention” you can look at her picture and tell what kind of person she is oh and guess what she would probably make someone a good wife if she ever decides to straighten out.

    Snowflakes usually melt fairly quickly this time of the year.

    This person also belongs to the misfit group who want the Bayview cross removed..enough said about morality…of this individual

  16. sam on August 2nd, 2019 8:23 am

    i am guessing she’s a democrat, liberal, and is pro LGBTQHNRRWAX or whatever they call it.

  17. Lou on August 2nd, 2019 8:04 am

    She’s got too much time on her hands…,get a job. She needs to be made an example of. If you don’t like our Congressman, stay home. No person has the right to assault another person. You don’t like our Cross…don’t look at it! You’re not the only person who’s got a voice. Another she takes more from society than she gives. Got answers for everyone except herself.

    This woman is NOT wired right. She’s an open supporter of removing God from everything and thinks ANTIFA is good. Yep, this is a millennial at its worst.

  19. Old Guy on August 2nd, 2019 7:31 am

    Not much of a fan of any politicians, this guy included, but why waste your drink like that?

  20. Denbroc on August 2nd, 2019 6:36 am

    Sounds like a “glass-half-empty” person.

  21. anne 1of2 on August 2nd, 2019 4:53 am

    It will be interesting to read the sentence for her. This is not decent behavior.

  22. John D Bodie on August 2nd, 2019 4:35 am

    Hmmm, The Lord usually prevails, Lol. Leave the cross alone.

  23. David Huie Green on August 2nd, 2019 3:22 am

    Sore loser?
    Overdoing sharer?
    Mass murder wannabe?
    Publicity hog?

    Matt Gaetz can be irritating, but at some point you need to grow up.

    David for better people
