Trump fan dunks herself in baptismal pool at state fair to escape searing heatwave

An attendee at President Donald Trump's state fair event was forced to seek refuge from extreme heat by dunking herself in a baptismal pool.

The entire Washington, D.C., metropolitan region is under extreme heat warning through the July 4 weekend with heat index values expected to be up to 112 degrees, and one MAGA fan told WTTG-TV that she took unusual measures to cool off Thursday at the Great American State Fair, which was celebrating "Faith, Values and Inspiration Day."

"Now I'm fine, but previously, none of these booths have air conditioning," said the woman in a pink Trump hat after exiting a medical tent for treatment. "We don't know what happened, but I started seeing stars, and we went to the tent – there's a religious tent because that's the theme for today – and they had a pool. They're baptizing people, but thank God they had the pool."

"They said, 'Do you want to get in?'" she added. "I go, 'Yes, I think I do.' I'm soaking wet! But I went to the medic tent, they took care of me. I've still got one of these towels, they filled me with electrolytes, but good lord. Oh, they're wonderful, absolutely excellent."
