The Left Attacks Again

Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican nominee for governor of New York, was attacked in broad daylight during a campaign event yesterday.  Thankfully, a number of people in the audience quickly jumped into action and tackled the attacker.  Rep. Zeldin was unharmed, and was able to finish his remarks.

Predictably, the assailant, who was charged with felony assault, was released within hours and without bond, which is increasingly becoming the norm in liberal states like New York. 

Now here’s an odd “coincidence.”  Just hours before the attack took place, Zeldin’s opponent, Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul, had urged her supporters to show up at Zeldin’s events. 

This incident summarizes everything that’s wrong with the left today.  But more importantly, it tells us what they are willing to do to maintain power. 

While conservatives get up in the morning restraining themselves, wanting to be polite and respectful ladies and gentlemen, everything is on the table for the left.  Conservatives who have an edge get called out by the media and their own “leaders.” 

But how can you have too much of an edge when dealing with those who attack our history, attack our country, attack our values and routinely deploy and encourage violence?

As we noted yesterday, the left deployed its stormtroopers in 2020 turning dozens of cities into war zones.  Innocent people were killed.  Businesses struggling to survive COVID were destroyed. 

Leftist stormtroopers surrounded the White House for days.  More than 60 Secret Service agents were injured during the brutal fighting.  There are reports that Trump had to be taken to a secure room in the White House bunker. 

Liberal pundits and commentators said nothing about the left’s “insurrection” or the left’s “assault on democracy” then.  But a four-hour protest that got out of control on Capitol Hill is “a threat to democracy.”
