New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Directed Supporters to Zeldin Campaign Event Hours Before Failed Attack

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.”

He should have armed security. Just ask Gabby Gifford. But it seems colonel Zeldin can handle hand to hand and has a certain amount of training.

Violence has become an accepted tactic of mainstream Democrats, while they continuously accuse Republicans and especially conservatives of precisely what they are doing.

So not an insurrection induced by Hochul, but an assassination plot.

Hochul could personally hand the next perp a weapon and Deep State can still ensure she wins.
= = =

Looks like she is using the false narrative of last night’s J6 hearing. You could substitute her for Trump in their presentation and it is a perfect fit.

Like when they quoted Trump as, I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and I wouldn’t lose any voters.

This is the kind of childish crap you get when you elect a “beauty queen” contestant to be your governor.

CAMPAIGN AD ON A SILVER PLATTER.

Hochul incites aggressive behavior and violence against a sitting U.S. Congressman. The attack on the institution of Congress, via Zeldin occurs. Perp released on NO bail.

Run the ad statewide as crime is skyrocketing and even NYC subways are not safe.

Zeldin wins from being behind by 15 points - only if he runs this ad.

First, has anyone even heard the attackers name. I haven’t. Second, attacking a congressman is a FEDERAL Felony. Pressure needs to be placed on the US Attorney for NY to file charges immediately and arrest him. That would force a Federal judge to deny bail based on his violent action, (just like the J6 defendants).
