They left out the part about the knife...

And started yelling before he wrestled with Zeldin and pulled out a BLADE...

Note that there is no mention in this article that he is a republican.

Now if he had been a dim, there would be a headline about a far right militia nutcase attacking a dim.

The local DA will make sure the attacker doesn’t have to pay bail and is home in time for the weekend.

I like to call her “Pelosi 2.0” She has the same stretched as far as it can go face lift, the same crazy look and same don’t give a damn about the people she reps. Crime out of control, 50 people shot over the weekend in NYC and what does she do? Bans smoking at the beach. Woooo! Humanity is saved!

I follow that account and they made their twitter private a long time ago because of trolls harassing him.

He was linking to another account and you should be able to see these:

Isn’t someone who physically attacks a candidate for public office guilty of endangering democracy?

[Qiviut]

What happened to former PM Abe in Japan should be a cautionary tale to anyone running for/in public office. Especially ‘conservatives’ or anyone not agreeing with/opposing the ‘Rats/Left/Progs ... they have no problems resorting to violence .... civil discourse no longer exists in their version of ‘politics’ or even the world.

I've been told it constitutes an insurrection, so the right thing to do is put this guy in a DC jail for the next year while he awaits a trial date. It's the only way to restore democracy.
