Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was hit with a drink outside a town hall event in Pensacola, Fla. on Saturday as he left the venue.

Video of the incident posted on Twitter shows the Florida congressman leaving the event while flanked on both sides by a crowd of protesters when a drink flies out of the crowd, appearing to strike Gaetz on the right arm.

It was unclear from video of the throw on Twitter whether the drink actually spilled on Gaetz, but the congressman is seen in the video reacting to being struck from behind and turning to point out one of the protesters.

A spokesperson for Gaetz told The Hill in an email that protesters who cause violence at Gaetz' town halls could expect to be prosecuted.

1. Was it a vanilla shake?

The one with the white color?

[marble falls]

2. You mean there's another color?

[guillaumeb]

3. Even better.

No, for Gaetz, and his supporters, there is only one color to like.

4. So basically a pie in the face.

I’m not a fan. There are better ways to make your point than destroying someone’s suit.

Not much different from keying someone’s car or tagging their house.

I’ll grant that the target is ripe. What an asshat.

8. I agree. Or throwing a shoe or whatever.

Not a good thing.

13. +1

5. She was arrested.

6. I agree with that.

Throwing something at even an asshole is assault if that person was not on the offensive.

9. I'm with you.

I’m not good with linking articles with this phone.
But it looks like at one time she ran against him.

[Tipperary]

7. Uh oh.

Not good.

12. As she should have been! nt

10. This made me smile

Thank you.

11. Lets try not to get carried away with this

I was pro milkshaking people before, but now I see how the right can use it against us or it could lead to a very bad situation.

14. I won't shed a tear.

15. thoughts but no prayers

16. Sent the cop after the hero, too

What a phony.

[smirkymonkey]

17. That was the nicest thing they could have done to him.

He is such a prick.
