#EnoughIsEnough is the theme for the new MeidasTouch ad, a simple yet powerful video. Just 41 seconds long, the combination of the voiceover and the footage taken at a demonstration in Portland is like a gut-punch for many.

The video shows U.S. Navy Vet, Christopher David, being assaulted by members of Trump’s secret police in Portland. As the officers hit him with batons, breaking bones in his hand, the narrator reminds the viewers that David fought for the 1st Amendment right he is exercising.

MeidasTouch shared the video on YouTube with a warning:

As the election nears, and Trump’s poll numbers continue to tank, his tactics will get more destructive as he launches an assault on the American people. We must honor true heroes like Christopher David, and follow his lead and stand up to Trump and make it clear that #EnoughIsEnough!

Twitter users agree. #EnoughIsEnough.

Many users expect these types of scenarios to continue — and escalate — as the countdown to the election continues.

45 will get more triggered,
more destructive,
more desperate,
more corrupt,
more DANGEROUS!#EnoughIsEnough

Watching this video makes me cry because Christopher David served as a Lieutenant in the Navy for our 1st Amendment & to be treated like this?! 🤦🏽‍♀️#EnoughIsEnough

Yep desperation on trumps part will certainly make him more destructive. Trump is insane so kinda like handing a gun to a monkey. Never know what’s gonna happen. Christopher is worthy of praise for standing his ground in the face of insurmountable odds. That walk away ftfw!

David is lauded as a hero for the way he stood tall. #EnoughIsEnough for Twitter users who are disgusted by the treatment of a true American hero.

That is inspiring, I am sorry Mr. David was injured, but he stood tall on behalf of all freedom loving Americans. What have we come to when our honorable veterans are gassed and beaten for questioning the tactics of a goon squad?#EnoughIsEnough

Wow! Each hit to that brave Hero was a blow to my heart. 💔 America can do better. We NEED to do better.

I see a hero, unbowed and unbroken. Thank you Lt David for your service both then and now. Those fascists beating you might as well have been beating the Statue of Liberty 🗽

A common theme among Twitter users was Trump’s ineptitude, “unelected” and “unfit.”

I miss the days when they actually had to alter footage to fit it for an attack ad. But trump just does horrible things that no altering is needed.

Many Twitter users are calling for charges to be filed against the men beating on David because #EnoughIsEnough.

Any charges for the anonymous men who assaulted him? What country am I living in where this is ok? These men need to be identified and charged for assault. This is not #America it’s #Fascism
