What Was The Weapon Wielded by Lee Zeldin's Attacker? (mediaite.com)
" In the aftermath of the Thursday attack on the Republican candidate for governor of New York, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), there was some confusion identifying the weapon wielded by the attacker as he attempted to stab Zeldin."The Monroe County Sheriff’s report of the incident read, “A male from the crowd climbed up on the stage and approached Zeldin. The male had a weapon in his hand, swung it towards Zeldin’s neck.”
"Zeldin was luckily unharmed in the attack. Initial reports indicate that the attacker may have been a veteran.
"The report identifies the assailant as David G. Jakubonis and says he was charged with attempted assault, a felony, and released on his own recognizance.
"Some on the far-right, like conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson, were quick to call the weapon a “knife.”. . .
Faulkner, who introduced the segment noted that Zeldin’s attacker was “holding a sharp object and told Zeldin, ‘You’re done.’”. . .
Pinkerton: Lee Zeldin Channels Teddy Roosevelt, Deflects Would-be Assassin, Finishes Speech, and Hoses Liberalism (breitbart.com) "If you want to see grace under pressure, Lee Zeldin is your man.
"Making a speech, having somebody attack you with a blade, deflecting said blade, and finishing your speech—that’s about as grace-under-pressure-ish as you can get. It’s exactly what Ernest Hemingway had in mind when he used those words, “grace under pressure,” to describe the essence of courage.
"Furthermore, if you think that liberal anti-law and anti-order policies are a farce, the attack on Zeldin, a Republican member of Congress now running for governor of New York, is your proof.
"As Breitbart News’ John Binder wrote of the Empire State’s turn ‘em loose policies, “New York’s no-bail law, every day, helps free an array of accused criminals.” Fact check: True. The “array of accused criminals” now includes Zeldin’s attacker. ". . .
Tenney: Zeldin Attacker Committed a Federal Crime, Where Is Merrick Garland? (breitbart.com)
Tenney said, “First of all, why was this person charged with attempted assault? It was attempted murder. He said, ‘You’re done.’ … And he had a dangerous weapon in his hand. And then also, Lee Zeldin, my colleague…is also a sitting member of Congress. There is a federal statute…that covers that. This is a felony under federal statutes. Where is [Attorney General] Merrick Garland? Where are the local [U.S. Attorneys] in New York State…the FBI? Why aren’t they protecting this Congressman whose life was threatened at a rally, at a public rally? And also spurred on by Kathy Hochul, our Governor, who urged people to come and protest and stand up to Lee Zeldin, much the way Maxine Waters and other Democratic operatives have done.”
I discussed this in detail on today’s episode of America First Report. Kathy Hochul is not alone. Prominent Democrats like Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, and Eric Swalwell have used similar language as Hochul in prompting their supporters to get “aggressive” with MAGA supporters. It has resulted in multiple incidents over the past six years where America First patriots have been assaulted for something as harmless as wearing a red hat.
Did Hochul Inspire Zeldin's Attacker? Some Say Yes. – PJ Media . . ."The Democrats may or may not be inspiring violence, but with no bail laws and their turn-a-blind-eye approach to their brownshirts, they sure are making it easy.". . .
