Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, 21, have been indicted by a grand jury for felony charges of robbery, conspiracy, and hate crimes.
The accused committed the crimes “for the pur.pose of interfering with the victim’s free exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege or immunity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or committed said crime because the victim had exercised or enjoyed said right or rights,”
“Violence in any form is unacceptable, but harming another person – let alone a child – because of the expression of their views betrays the principles on which our country was founded,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathleen Jennings.
“Free speech, free assembly, and free expression are sacred, no matter whether we agree with the opinions expressed, and especially when we don’t,” Jennings added.
A viral video captured the women in action, which included damaging MAGA signs and memorabilia.
