As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown.

The "alleged" perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio.

Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct.

Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people," Acton's campaign said.

"Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another,” Acton's campaign said in a statement on Sunday.

We now have learned more details about the incident, and what was initially reported was completely inaccurate!

Patrick Havas did NOT lunge at Amy Acton. He pushed his way through the crowd in the tent to get a good view up front.

I saw how she desperately does NOT wish to debate Ramaswamy. It sure would be convenient to cite ‘personal safety’ instead of ‘cowardice’ as the reason.
