Fox News host ‘targeted’ in ambush at Brooklyn bar
NY Post ^

Posted on 07/25/2017 11:03:13 AM PDT by TigerClaws

A Fox News host was ambushed while attending her pal’s campaign event in Brooklyn Monday night — doused head to toe with a bottle of water.

The assault against Kat Timpf, a libertarian co-host on “Fox News Specialists,” occurred at Union Pool in Williamsburg, where her friend and Brooklyn Borough president hopeful Ben Kissel was hosting the event, which coincided with his birthday.

In a series of tweets, a shaken Timpf, 28, said the attack was targeted.

An unknown guy “walks in, clearly here because he knows I’m here, dumps an entire 1.5 liter bottle of water on me, first on my head and then I turn … to look and he splashes it directly on my face and runs out. I’m shocked, I’m stunned. I’m obviously upset. I end up not being able … to speak because of it,” Timpf wrote Monday night.

She went on to add, “I’ve never seen a more disgusting insane cruel climate than the one we’re in now. Why? What does that … accomplish? I guess I wasn’t able to speak so that’s great and I guess he wins, but we’re just randomly assaulting people in public now?”

The altercation was caught on security footage, which Timpf said has been turned over to police. She also filed a police report — but the assailant is still in the wind, she said on Twitter.

Police confirmed Timpf filed a harassment complaint Monday night. They described the creep, who said nothing when he attacked, as a white male in his 20s or 30s.

With the prevalence of acid attacks among certain tribal groups, Timph would have been totally justified in pivoting and putting three rounds into this hippy’s gut.

At some point it will happen, if the left doesn’t wise up.

The way you beat them is to SPEAK ANYWAY, even if you’re soaking wet.

That act alone should have started a brawl. Assailant pouring water over her should have earned him a punch in the face.

Does Timpf have any friends who are real men?

Kat appears to be a very petite young lady. She probably only weighs 100 pounds soaking wet...oh wait.

I’m figuring there was cheering, and that cops will be too “busy” to find the assailant.

Big Media will shrug because it’s water, and libertarians are to be hated just as much as Republicans.

Agree. This punk does sound like coward. Where were the brave men in this group, stopping the punk and giving him a taste of his own medicine?

Attractive? Maybe if you like anorexic bulimic women.

Regardless of how she looks, this was a despicable attack. I hope they find the guy, tie him up, and let Eric Billing pound the piss out of him.

She should have doused him with lead, but this is NY

I would’ve punched that guy so hard he’d not know what hit him, and I’m not a big guy. I’m just at that age where I really do not care about the consequences and I’m not a huge fan of Kat either.. But when I see a punk attack a woman for no reason, you BET I’d respond.

Had a ‘Rat been similarly assaulted...

She’s lucky.
That’s better evidence than is available in the case involving Seth Rich.

I like Kat. She’s very down-to-earth. She graduated from Hillsdale College. The lib punk who attacked her is lucky someone didn’t light him up.

Find the guy? In New York City?
Not bloody likely, unfortunately.

Likely several dozen women were molested by creeps
in Manhattan bars that evening. Should never happen,
but predictably it does.

“Attractive girl goes to a bar and gets harassed by a creep in his 20’s or 30’s. Stop the Presses!!”

Yeah right! It wasn’t harassment, it was assault. You need to figure out the difference! In addition, if the guy is caught, he’s in bigger trouble because Timpf is a “public figure” by reason of her TV appearances.

“And she’s not even Conservative.”

I have to admit that I wondered which side threw water on her, but I remembered the good guys on our side don’t do that sort of thing. I have to admit wanting to throw something at her many times....but I decided to tune out instead.
