Lunatic Libtard attacks Republican candidate for NY Governor Lee Zeldin during rally

The libtards have lost their minds - they attempted to assassinate the Republican New York gubernatorial candidate tonight

Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin was attacked during a campaign event Thursday night at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Perinton, New York.

WIVB4 reported that Zeldin was speaking on bail reform when the alleged male attacker jumped on stage and started yelling and trying to stab Zeldin. The suspect was wrestled with and during the altercation pulled out a blade with grips. According to reports, Zeldin was unharmed and finished his speech after the suspect had been subdued and taken away.

"Congressman Zeldin, Alison Esposito and all members of Team Zeldin are safe following tonight's attack," they wrote, adding that "far more must be done to make New York safe again."

"This is very much getting out of hand in this state. Unfortunately, Congressman Zeldin is just the latest New Yorker whose life has been affected by the out of control crime and violence in New York. This needs to stop! Thankfully, we still have exceptional women and men in law enforcement answering the call to protect our streets."

This is AFTER Kathy Hochul, the libtard candidate for Governor emailed Zeldin's schedule to her lunatic supporters so they would know where he would be so they could harass him

The left regularly incites political violence because they know they have total control over the institutions that would hold them accountable

We’ve now had the Libtards trying to kill a Supreme Court Justice and a Governor candidate. Both conservatives. And the libtard media is largely silent.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochu encouraged her supporters to confront Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin on his “far-right agenda” hours before a man wielding a knife tried to attack Zeldin at a campaign stop in Fairport, New York.

Her language is inciting her crazy Progressive followers to physically attack people they disagree with. The left is totally intolerant.

And of course Kathy Hochul's New York's lax bail laws put the attempted assassin back out of the streets within hours

In the United States under libtard regimes parents disagreeing with the local school board are treated as a more serious threat to “democracy” than leftists trying to assassinate political candidates or officials

There are January 6th defendants who had no weapons who have been in jail for 18 months. This guy in New York tried to kill a Republican congressman yesterday and he’s out on no cash bail eating breakfast at Denny’s this morning.

Selfie in the Capitol? HOLD THEM IN SOLITARY FOR 18 MONTHS
Try to murder a GOP candidate? FREE NO CASH BAIL IN A FEW HOURS
There’s your two tier justice system.

So the feds actually step in where Liberal shithole NY failed by releasing this idiot

Lee Zeldin attacker David Jakubonis arrested on federal assault charge

The troubled Army veteran who allegedly attacked US Rep. Lee Zeldin during a gubernatorial campaign stop near Rochester was hit with a federal assault charge Saturday, authorities revealed.

David Jakubonis “willfully” assaulted the congressman and Republican candidate for governor of New York “with a dangerous weapon” in Perinton on Thursday evening, an FBI agent alleged in a criminal complaint filed in United States District Court. Zeldin, 42, was unhurt.

Jakubonis allegedly violated a federal law against intentionally assaulting a federal lawmaker or member of the Executive Branch, according to the six-page affidavit written by Special Agent Timothy Klapec.

The suspect, who was released from jail hours after the incident, appeared in front of US Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson on Saturday, according to the complaint, and was being held behind bars following the proceeding, according to a worker at the federal court in Rochester.

“I’m thankful that federal authorities came in to do what New York State’s broken pro-criminal justice system could not – uphold the rule of law,” he said in a prepared statement.

Meanwhile, Zeldin shared The Post’s front-page about the ordeal, claiming Jakubonis’ being let out is a prime example of the consequences of progressive pre-trial policies enacted in 2019.

“We cannot live in a state where someone who commits a felony trying to stab me on stage at a campaign rally then gets immediately released,” he seethed on Twitter. “New York’s cashless bail law must be REPEALED! Kathy Hochul refuses to get this job done. I will!”
