A man was arrested after he allegedly threatened to kill supporters of President Trump and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) at the congressman’s Long Island campaign headquarters.
Martin Astrof, 75, showed up at Zeldin’s Nesconset office on Friday morning and verbally assaulted Zeldin and Trump fans, the Suffolk County Police said in a statement.
When he tried to drive off, Astorf almost hit volunteer Donato Panico with his car.
Astrof was arrested outside his home shortly after the incident.
He has been charged with making terroristic threats and reckless endangerment, police said.
Zeldin condemned the attack on Twitter late Friday night.
“In the US, political scores are settled at the ballot box, not by trying to kill your political opponents,” Zeldin wrote. “Donato Panico is a great American, support of @realDonaldTrump & one of my campaign vols. He shouldn’t have been targeted like this today for his passion and involvement.”
Zeldin followed up with a tweet on Saturday, thanking Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. for reaching out to make sure Donato was doing alright after the confrontation.
Looks like Jerry Sandusky.
When someone is finally (and it is, I’m afraid, inevitable) hurt, or worse, Maxine Waters, among others, should be immediately arrested.
Looks like a guy who is old enough to know better but proved to just be another stupid person that believes the rat lies and went over the cliff and decided to go on the attack.
Too bad that he won’t do some real Jail time.
Too late.

Ladies and gentlemen, the tolerant left.
He wasn’t arrested for allegedly anything... He was arrested for making violent threats!

Obnoxious old f@rt, lock his @zz up!
I’m 70 this year so yeah, I said it! Every nutter who mouths off like this means more votes for Pres. Trump this fall.

Looks more like a mix between Sandusky and Robert DeNiro!
