In May, British politician Nigel Farage was doused with a $6.50 banana and salted caramel milkshake while campaigning. The political protest was labeled “milkshaking” by the media.
This week, a judge ordered the milkshake tosser, Paul Crowther, to pay £520 (about $650) in damages, including £239 ($330) for Farage’s lapel microphone, plus his dry cleaning and distress.
Earlier this month, Congressman Matt Gaetz was gazed by slushee, tossed by Amanda L. Kondrat’yev. She was charged with simple battery.
How much will Kondrat’yev’s protest cost her?
