West, 61, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, and former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, was escorted out of the event surrounded by police - but was met with even more protesters.
Purcell, who was with West, said there were hundreds of protesters screaming at them and she quickly became separated when the mob got in between her and the police who were protecting West. She said that's when she decided to turn around and walk peacefully back to her car. But the mob began to target her, urging one another to 'capture' her.
Purcell said the mob moved on to hunt down other members of the club and claimed they physically assaulted one of the board members by kicking and punching him.
