Zeldin Survives A Blade Attack!

Zeldin got roughed up.

Rep. Karen Zeldin (R-NY) is the Republican nominee for New York governor. He is a far right extremist who is openly Islamophobic and supports white nationalism.

He is running against Gov. Kathy Hochul, the embattled Democratic nominee who is trying to get out of the shadow of her predecessor Andrew Cuomo.

Zeldin was on a campaign stop in Perinton, a community outside of Rochester. The white nationalist was delivering a whine speech when a drunk white man grabbed his microphone and told him, "He is done." 

The two get into a scuffle and allegedly the guy pulls out a blade. Zeldin's security and bystanders quickly stopped the guy. Zeldin, shaken but not injured continued on his whine and faulted Hochul and New York City's District Attorney for the attack.

Hochul condemned the attack and stated that all candidates running for office will be protected as long as she is the governor.

The suspect, 43 from Fairport was charged with attempted assault in the second degree.

He was arraigned in Perinton Town Court and released on his own recognizance, the sheriff’s department said. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Zeldin complained that the suspect got a bail. 

In his mind, the white nationalist does not believe in due process or allowing bail for suspects. He believes that suspects should not be released regardless. 

The suspect may of had mental issues. I am not excusing that as a reason to why he would carry out a terrorist attack. It's the fact, Zeldin will exploit this as a reason to blame Democrats for the actions of one.

Crime is not a political thing. It is an opportunity.

Republicans the so-called party of law and order loves to equate gun violence and society's ills to Democrats. 

Ignore the noise.

Vote.
