Correction: The beverage thrown at Matt Gaetz was reportedly an unspecified drink, not a milkshake. We've left the original story below. We apologize for the error.

Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, was leaving a townhall in his Florida district on Saturday when a protester tossed a milkshake on him. This makes Gaetz—who even among the GOP is a notoriously die-hard Trump supporter and was accused of witness tampering when he made potentially threatening remarks to the president's former lawyer—the first American politician to get "milkshaked."

"Milkshaking" started in Britain, where people are dumping the dessert on far-right public figures. The first target was Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defense League, an anti-Muslim, frequently violent nationalist organization. Robinson, who is apparently as intolerant of lactose as he is of foreigners, was doused by milkshakes twice in one day while promoting his unsuccessful campaign to join European Parliament. Since then, multiple rightwingers have been milkshaked, like anti-immigrant Brexit leader Nigel Farage, who was hit by a cup of banana and salted caramel.

But milkshaking has sparked a backlash from critics who find it too aggressive. The weekend Farage got creamed, police in Scotland ordered a local McDonald's to stop selling milkshakes near a rally the Brexiteer was hosting. After that, Burger King tweeted to let all of Scotland know it would be selling milkshakes, which led to accusations that the chain was promoting "political violence." Former prime minister Tony Blair called milkshaking horrible and ridiculous, adding, "I can't stand it." American Atlantic writer David Frum even called it "symbolic assassination."

The woman accused of milkshaking Gaetz was arrested for assault. Currently, there's no confirmation as to what flavor of milkshake she used. But Gaetz and other far right politicians can breathe a sigh of relief since the ice cream-y drinks will get even less dangerous as the summer heats up.
