A woman has been sentenced to 15 days in federal custody for throwing a red sports drink at Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who frequently appears on television supporting President Donald Trump.

Amanda Kondrat'yev was part of a group protesting in June 1 outside a town hall campaign event attended by Republican Gaetz in Pensacola, Florida.

The second-term congressman for Florida's 1st congressional district was leaving a coffee house when a cup struck him in the chest and torso area, the criminal complaint said.

Several witnesses identified Kondrat'yev as the assailant, and the throw was caught on video as he left the Brew Ha Ha restaurant.

The court heard she was holding a sign which read: 'Gaetz - wipe the blood from your hands, A+ rating - NRA, save our kids vote Gaetz out in 2020.'

Kondrat'yev, 35, was sentenced in Pensacola, after pleading guilty to the assault in August. Her confinement is scheduled to begin December 2.

Gaetz gave a statement to the court in which he asked for Kondrat'yev to receive a prison sentence.

'I come not for any vengeance or retribution, but for the safety of the constituents who attend our public events,' he told the court.

Kondrat'yev's lawyer Eric Stevenson said he was 'disappointed that Mr. Gaetz pushed for imprisonment as a sentence,' NBC News reported.

Along with the 15 days prison term, Kondrat'yev has one year of supervised probation ahead. She also must pay a $500 fine.

Kondrat'yev faced up to a year behind bars, according the sentencing guidelines, but Magistrate Judge Hope Cannon drastically reduced her jail time because she had no criminal history.

After leaving court Monday, Gaetz said, 'We want to welcome everyone to our events, whether they support me or not.'

It is likely that Kondrat'yev will serve her sentence at the Santa Rosa County Jail, which hold inmates for short stints, USA Today reported.
