N.S.: I like the kind of supporters Lee Zeldin attracts. In a related note, he recently said that, if elected, he would begin the procedure to have black supremacist manhattan da Alvin Bragg removed from office, as soon as he's inaugurated.

Hochul the governor sent out tweets about Zeldin that were less than favorable. She encouraged the attempt on the life of Zeldin. She needs to be arrested. And investigate by a House select committee.
ReplyDeleteZELDIN ATTACKER RELEASED
ReplyDelete(ZH)The man who attempted to assassinate Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) was charged with a felony and released from custody hours after the attack, the Monroe County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
David G. Jakubonis, 43, of Fairport NY, was charged with attempted assault in the second degree. After his arraignment in Perinton Town Court, he was released on his own recognizance.
Zeldin predicted the suspect would be released.
"His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were ‘you’re done’, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy," Tweeted Zeldin, who added that "Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws."
According to AMVETS national director Joe Chenelly, who tackled the assailant, "His right hand came up, I assume out of his pocket, and he had a blade on his hand," adding "His fingers were like two finger holes in the blade and lunged at the congressman. And Congressman Zeldin blocked the first lunge. And then as he tried to lunge again, I grabbed him from behind and tackled him down to the ground and held him on the ground."
