Two GOP Candidates Assaulted in Minnesota
FREE BEACON ^ | 17 Oct 2018 | Bill McMorris

Posted on 10/17/2018 10:28:23 AM PDT by mandaladon

The Minnesota Democratic Party has suspended a spokesman for calling for violence against Republicans even as two GOP candidates have been assaulted in suspected politically motivated attacks.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party has suspended communications staffer William Davis for one week without pay after making a Facebook post joking that Democrats would "bring [Republicans] to the guillotine" on Nov. 7, the day after the midterm elections. Minnesota Republican Party chairman Jennifer Carnahan said the suspension was not enough, calling for his immediate firing in the aftermath of separate attacks against Republican candidates. She said she has been subjected to numerous death threats during her tenure as the state party leader and that death threats are no laughing matter.

"The overt hatred and violence that has become prevalent from many Democrats towards Republicans in recent times is unlawful, unacceptable, and downright scary," she said in an email. "Yes, we have free speech and the right to peacefully assemble, but these words and actions by the left have gone too far. … He should have been terminated immediately."

DFL officials did not respond to request for comment.

The suspension came days after Minnesota state representative Sarah Anderson was punched in the arm after spotting a man destroying Republican yard signs. She said the attack left her scared, and her attacker only desisted when she fled to her car and threw it in reverse.

"It was just insane. He was charging at me, saying, ‘Why don't you go kill yourself?'" Anderson told the Washington Free Beacon. "To have someone physically coming after you and attacking you is just disheartening."

Anderson was not the only GOP candidate attacked. First-time state representative candidate Shane Mekeland suffered a concussion after getting sucker punched while speaking with constituents at a restaurant in Benton County. Mekeland told the Free Beacon he has suffered memory loss—forgetting Rep. Anderson's name at one point in the interview—and doctors tell him he will have a four-to-six week recovery time ahead of him. He said he was cold cocked while sitting at a high top table at a local eatery and hit his head on the floor.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Libs are going crazy...

Shades of the Great Tribulation, when the Beast reveals himself to the world, demanding worship as “God”. The Mark of the Beast is a system of the “religious” False Prophet.

Their foot soldiers are already here. Ready and willing.

Oh, it’s not the Mark of the Beast YET. But you can see some are all good with the basic idea. Antifa likes this idea, too.

Get this into a commercial ASAP. This is the Democrats end goal — mob rule that replaces democracy.

NPC = non-player character.

it is the new meme used to describe SJWs and other non-thinking robotic prog dems, etc...

It drives them nuts because it hits too close to home.

Change each letter, one at a time, to the letter that precedes it.

Even if no one had been attacked it’s still voter intimidation and should be prosecuted.

Interesting to see that volunteers, hopefully either or both open and concealed carry, are accompanying them. Why has the police identified the attacker but not taken action? Seems like multiple charges are in order and overdue.

NPCs only know a few words and they repeat them over and over—racist, fascist, homophobe etc etc.

Like zombies to the apocalypse. Leftists have the same mental derangement the world over.

What is the function of the Department of Homeland Security? Local law enforcement seems to be unable or unwilling to deal with these situations so maybe there should be a clandestine unit of DHS to step in. I know it’s anathema but sometimes Secret Police are the answer.
