Media Mogul Steve Forbes ASSAULTED By Protesters At Conservative Book Launch Party

The incident occurred during the launch of a new book by conservative authors Bethany Mandel and Karol Markowicz, titled "Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation."

Forbes recounted the incident to Fox News Digital, saying protesters disrupted the event by throwing drinks at him and toppling a book display. "I was talking to co-author Bethany Mandel near the counter where the books were on display. Suddenly a woman seemingly out of nowhere was angrily yelling almost incoherently about matters that weren't related to the subject of the book," Forbes said. "The books themselves were pushed off the counter loudly landing on the floor while simultaneously she tossed a drink our way."

Markowicz told the conservative news outlet Daily Wire News that she saw "two wild-eyed young White women run up to our party and scream ‘Black lives matter!'" She added that they "threw their drinking glasses at the wall where our books were displayed and ran off."

Mandel told Fox News Digital that she was "soaking wet" after "young women with short, dyed blue hair were screaming at us ‘Black lives matter, trans lives matter!'" She tried to talk to them, but they ran off, she said.

At the conclusion of the event, as guests were leaving, another group of young women lingered in the doorway, yelling at attendees as fascists and shouting homophobic slurs.

Mandel, an author and homeschooling mother of six, said that she has avoided sharing photos of her children's faces publicly because "it was clear that a large number of leftists are unhinged and willing to target children." "The fact that my newborn baby narrowly missed being assaulted at his mother’s book party speaks to how right I was to protect my children from the public," she said.

Mandel also commented on the incident, stating that "wokeism is poisoning young brains. It’s the thesis of the book, and the young deranged women who protested the party are exactly what we warn about in our book: angry, irrational, and uninformed. They parroted the approved chants about black and trans lives mattering. They didn’t know what they were protesting, just that we were dissidents. They are exactly what our readers don’t want their kids turning into."
