I swear people don’t have any manners these days. A Trump supporter in New Jersey decided to be rude as hell and literally threw a beer can at a comedian. All this while she was performing on stage in front of a crowd.

Aria Elias shared the clip, which has now become viral, showing her performing at Uncle Vinne’s Comedy Club in Point Pleasant Beach. She had just told the audience that she didn’t vote for Former President Donald Trump back in 2020.
“To answer the most obvious question, yes, I did pick up what was left of the beer and chug it,” she tweeted after the incident. According to Elias, before the attack, the man who threw the beer had arrived at the bar with a group of 20 people. They appeared to be celebrating a birthday, and were pretty “rowdy.”

When she began her routine of jokes, she opened the floor to the audience, letting them ask her questions. A woman from the group shot her hand up in the air and asked, “Did you vote for Donald Trump?”
Elias said she was unsettled by the question and tried to de-escalate it by responding with a joke. “Why would you ask me that knowing I’m the only Jew in this room? Are you trying to get me killed?” she told the woman.
The guest decided to pipe back at her asking if she had voted for Joe Biden. Elias responded, “I dunno. what does it matter?” Being rude as ever, the woman then loudly says, “Yes, you did! I could just tell by your jokes you voted for Biden.”
Elias quickly slapped back, because who wouldn’t? “I can tell by the fact that you’re still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for Trump,” she said. That’s when the audience grows with claps and cheers showing their support for the comedian.

When she tries to continue the set and begins to joke about her IUD, a loud thud is heard. You can see the beer hitting the brick wall behind her right next to her head. Stunned, she looks at the wall, then to the floor, scooping up the beer. Safe to say she was left with her jaw hanging open.
Trying to remain calm, she quickly begins to chug the beer on stage. She quickly lifts it above her head and mocks the audience as she cheers them. Luckily, Elias confirmed that one of the members of the group approached her and apologized on the rioter’s behalf. Oh, and he also gave her $20, you know, because that solves everything.
The owner of the club confirmed that the beer was thrown by the woman’s partner who was asking the question. He left the club shortly after throwing the can. But the owner said he’d been in contact with local authorities after they officially identified it.
As expected, Elias said the club was pressing charges at the man who threw the drink at her. “Fwiw the club is pressing charges against the guy and booked me to come back in April,” she tweeted.
