Two MAGA influencers are now wanted by police after a vile ‘racist incident’ in London

Two MAGA influencers wanted for questioning by the British Transport Police over an alleged racially aggravated assault in central London are believed to have already left the country days before officers issued a public appeal.

Last week, a transport police spokesperson said officers had conducted “a number of enquiries” after receiving a report that a woman had been racially abused and assaulted at Bond Street station in October. The incident is said to have started after a push-chair bumped into another woman on the platform.

Police say a family told them a man directed racist abuse at them before a woman allegedly grabbed the victim by the hair. The woman was also alleged to have made “lewd gestures”, and continued hurling racist comments before the pair left the station.

A senior transport officer later posted a photo of the woman said to be involved, which people then linked to Melissa Rein Lively, a political consultant who previously went for the job of White House press secretary for Donald Trump’s second term, but was not successful. She is also the founder of America’s first “anti-woke” PR Firm, America First.

She has previously made headlines in US political circles, once telling Politico: “I’m a hair away from the White House… My clients are – I can’t even name who I work with. They own half of Palm Beach.”

The man with her is Philip Ostermann, her partner who works in finance.

According to the latest update from the transport police, Philip is thought to have flown out of the UK on the 14th October, while Melissa is believed to have left on Friday 24th October, ten days before police released images of the pair and asked the public for help identifying them.

Police said the public appeal generated a “significant response”, helping them determine that neither individual lives in the UK.

“We continue efforts to make contact with and speak to them”, the spokesperson added, saying investigators are still deciding next steps.

Officers also said they remain in regular contact with the victim and her family as the inquiry continues.
