Police Make Second Arrest in Brutal Beating of Rubio Canvasser; Victim Maintains Attack was Politically Motivated

 National Review

"Police in South Florida have made a second arrest in connection with a vicious weekend attack on a Marco Rubio campaign worker who told authorities he was attacked “because he was a Republican,” according to an arrest report.

 "Rubio first tweeted about the attack on Monday. He has highlighted the case as an example of anti-Republican media bias, because local and national media have cast doubt on the accusation that the attack was politically motivated. Rubio believes the latest police report clearly backs his assertion that his canvasser was attacked over his Republican politics.

“ 'When a republican volunteer is savagely beaten the traditional media treats the victim as the criminal and the criminal as a nice young man who likes fishing & just made a mistake,” Rubio said, noting reporting from the Miami Herald.

 “ 'Local media spent 2 days treating the GOP canvasser who was attacked as a criminal & denying the attack was politically motivated Now a second arrest, a police report & surveillance video shows how biased & irresponsible the narrative they were pushing was' ”. . .
