The usual. I voted for Zeldin in the Primary. Fairport is right around the corner from me. Why do Dems us violence as one of their tools.
Drunk and using a weapon against a political candidate....stupid.
I voted for Zeldin. Not sure where you got your information.
He is in the tradition of Peter King a former Rep. Congressman from NY who supported Trump but was in the wrong camp.
Zeldin’s attacker — David G. Jakubonis, 43 of Fairport, N.Y. — was arrested and charged with a felony.
He was then released on personal recognizance.
When I search for the supposed attacker’s name on Google, it shows just one or two things about the attack. If I then click to search on news, it changes the name (possible benign reason is it’s an unusual name).
I always liked King.
That is apparently a Lithuanian surname, not that it is important.
Trying to stab someone in the neck seems kind of serious. WTH is wrong with New York that the guy is released already?
Is that a Hello Kitty knife?
Yes, but, it’s ok when a democrat does it.
Lots of exciting Fox News appearances for King.
King of course being a New Yorker where Fox News is located.
Out here in flyover country that did not change more government spending and less freedom policies from being implemented culminating in COVID where we got both.
