New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent out a press release urging her supporters to “RSVP” to her Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin’s upcoming campaign stop, just hours before a man rushed the stage at one of Zeldin’s events in a failed attack.
While Zeldin spoke at a campaign event in Fairport, New York, a man reportedly rushed the stage with a weapon in an apparent attempt to stab him on Thursday evening. Fortunately, Zeldin grabbed the attacker’s wrist long enough for other event attendees to step in and subdue the attacker.
However, as people like GOP strategist Arthur Schwartz and New York GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy pointed out, Hochul’s campaign sent out a press release just hours before the failed attack on Zeldin that blasted out the time and location of several of Zeldin campaign’s upcoming stops.
Hochul claimed that Zeldin and his team would spread “dangerous lies, misinformation, and his far-right agenda at these campaign events.”
“‘Big Lie’ Lee and his entourage of extremists kick off the statewide ‘MAGA Republican’ Bus Tour, which will make stops across the state peddling dangerous lies, misinformation, and his far-right agenda,” Hochul’s release read.
The New York governor also claimed that Zeldin “will be joined by top anti-abortion advocates, NRA enthusiasts, and a cast of extremist groups.”
Hochul urged her supporters to “RSVP to hear about Zeldin’s ‘Election Integrity Task Force,’ and his recent election fraud scandal in which his campaign photocopied over 11,000 duplicate petition signatures.”
“You sent your supporters after him. And they came,” Schwartz tweeted.
“Governor, you seemed to suggest there should have been vigilante violence by inaccurately describing that campaign event as filled with ‘far-right extremists,'” Andy Ngo tweeted. “That is the same language and dog whistle used by Antifa militants to urge comrades to injure or kill targets.”

Probably provided the signature gathering teams that photo copied duplicate, invalid sigs.
Michigan ‘Rats did this to the top to GOP primary candidates including one 40% ahead of Witchen Whitler in polls. Detroit Chief of Police James Craig.
His constitutional base, no-nonsense talk to message on inner city victim mentality and ending crime must have really scared the $#/+ out of Dems nationally and across the Great Lakes. He knows what happened during the 2020 counting and has been roughly cancelled, lawsuits meeting with Rat-Court injustice as well. On his watch Antifa/BLM did not succeed long in Detroit, no support.
More to the point, if what Trump did was so bad, and deserves prosecution, and barrment from political office, what Hochul did IS a crime, and she should be jailed.
I heard that, absolutely utterly freakin’ insane beyond all that is insane. Attempted murder of a political candidate and they treat it like he littered.

You’re missing the most obvious component to this equation. If someone had tried to assassinate gov. Cuomo, they’d be in solitary confinment for 2 years.
Obviously he's out? He has 'democrat immunity' don't ya know????????
Governor Gulag
Only against Juden und Unterenschen Christians and Conservatives. Does anybody seriously think that if someone attacked Whorchul that the entire apparatus of the federal government wouldn't be on the scene labeling it "terrorism" and they guy would already be on his way to Gitmo?

Actually, I think VA Republicans are giving them a run for their money.
There are still holes in the facade of 23 Wall to remind us.
Oh, we’re still in the list in NYC, at least orthodox are.
There are daily violent attacks and the perps just walk back out of jail.
I wonder if I could get one of those ballots. I live in Mexico.
No. They need to be wiped from the earth.
No question and that person would be doing hard time in a Federal prison after conviction.
Only if the intended victim is a Republican. If someone had tried to stab yokel, they'd be shot on the spot.

Yup. Released.
Heard on F&F that the guy was vet with mental health issues and also drunkat the time. Crazy that they did not hold him for mental evaluation at the very least. The security really needs to be beefed up. I know this was at a VFW but they need to get serious about security.
I hear that all the time and there is probably some truth to it. That said, we are here because we have allowed them to run us and intimidate us and we have become too timid and afraid to fight back.
Maybe a skirmish is the only way. One of these days people are going to go retaliation when a looney leftist pulls these kind of acts. It would be well deserved.
