Rachel Casey was asked by Inside Edition if she had been taunting the anti-Trump protesters in San Jose, California, last week.

“Yeah, maybe I egged them on, but I was just sticking up for myself,” the 29-year-old bodybuilder said. “They started it with me. I stood up for myself like any other American would.”

A video shows her making an obscene gesture to a protester. She was then hit by an anti-Trump sign after walking into an angry crowd. Eggs and tomatoes were tossed at her.

“Thank God it wasn’t bricks and rocks,” she said.

Casey said she plans to appear on stage at future rallies with the presumptive Republican nominee after his campaign contacted her following the incident.
