Edward Coristine, formerly of DOGE and notoriously known as “Big Balls,” made a notable appearance on Fox News with Jesse Watters discussing the harrowing incident in Washington, DC, where he was assaulted by a group of teenagers.
Last month, 19-year-old Coristine found himself in a precarious situation while attempting to protect his girlfriend during a carjacking attempt, resulting in a brutal beating. In a move that has mobilized public awareness, former President Trump shared a shocking image of Coristine post-assault, coinciding with a new federal mandate to combat crime in the nation’s capital.
According to a police report, details of the incident reveal Coristine’s valor as he defended his girlfriend from a group of ten assailants. To date, two 15-year-olds have been charged in connection with this brutal ambush.
In a compelling conversation with Jesse Watters, he recounted the frightening events of that night.
“It was around 3 a.m. and I was out with friends. As I walked one of my friends to her car, I noticed a group of ten guys on the opposite side of the street,” Coristine shared. “When she fumbled for her keys, they started shouting. That’s when I realized we were in trouble.”
With quick thinking, he rushed his friend into the car, locking the doors just in time before the group closed in. “They slammed me against the vehicle and started punching. I just tried to shield my head as best as I could. Thankfully, the police arrived relatively quickly.”
Despite the violence, Coristine was fortunate, emerging with only a broken nose and a concussion. “It could have been much worse,” he remarked, emphasizing how luck played a crucial role in his escape from a dire situation.
