BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) — A motorist accused of intentionally hitting another vehicle after becoming enraged by a bumper sticker for President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon.

Chloe Wright appeared in court in Barnstable, Massachusetts, on Monday. The 25-year-old also faces charges of vandalizing property and leaving the scene of property damage.

The Cape Cod Times reports a man told police he was stopped at a red light on June 30 in Hyannis when the driver behind him began honking the horn. At the next light, the man told police the driver called him a racist and other names after asking if he had voted for Trump.
