Wendi L. Wright, 35, was arrested and charged with felony reckless endangerment for the incident that occurred in Weakley County on Monday.

Wright allegedly followed a car occupied by Tennessee Congressman David Kustoff and two others down a highway and placed them "in fear of being forced off" the road, according to the Weakley County Sheriff's Department.

The other occupants of the car included the driver and Kustoff's aide, Marianne Dunavant, Sgt. Marty Plunk of the sheriff's department told BuzzFeed News.

First, I can't condone violence in any form.

Second, she might lose her voting rights over this.

Don't run them off the road, vote them out of office.

Guess which one I'm MOST worried about.
