Biden motioned for Mitchell to come over and handed him a challenge coin bearing the seal of the vice president. "He gave me a five minute lecture about what it was, what it's supposed to mean and the importance of keeping promises," Mitchell said.

Speaking about it for the first time in an interview with The Daily Beast, Mitchell says that he was grabbed and physically intimidated by DeSantis security at two subsequent campaign stops, where the candidate's staffers also monitored him in a way he perceived as hostile. The experience, Mitchell said, was "horrifying" and amounted to "intimidation." At a Fourth of July parade DeSantis attended, Mitchell was swarmed by security and physically restrained after a brief interaction with the governor--with his private security contractors even demanding Mitchell stay put until they said so. With his mother alarmed, the situation escalated to such a degree that the candidate's wife, Casey, spoke directly with her--but to suggest her son was being dishonest about what happened, according to Mitchell. Then, at an August 19 event--where Mitchell was tailed closely by two security guards--an attendee told The Daily Beast they saw a staffer for DeSantis' super PAC, Never Back Down, take a photo of the teenager on Snapchat before typing out an ominous caption: "Got our kid." Seven other sources corroborated Mitchell's version of events.

Somebody needs to get that kid on F16.
