Two GOP Candidates Assaulted in Minnesota
FREE BEACON ^ | 17 Oct 2018 | Bill McMorris

Posted on 10/17/2018 10:28:23 AM PDT by mandaladon

The Minnesota Democratic Party has suspended a spokesman for calling for violence against Republicans even as two GOP candidates have been assaulted in suspected politically motivated attacks.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party has suspended communications staffer William Davis for one week without pay after making a Facebook post joking that Democrats would "bring [Republicans] to the guillotine" on Nov. 7, the day after the midterm elections. Minnesota Republican Party chairman Jennifer Carnahan said the suspension was not enough, calling for his immediate firing in the aftermath of separate attacks against Republican candidates. She said she has been subjected to numerous death threats during her tenure as the state party leader and that death threats are no laughing matter.

"The overt hatred and violence that has become prevalent from many Democrats towards Republicans in recent times is unlawful, unacceptable, and downright scary," she said in an email. "Yes, we have free speech and the right to peacefully assemble, but these words and actions by the left have gone too far. … He should have been terminated immediately."

DFL officials did not respond to request for comment.

The suspension came days after Minnesota state representative Sarah Anderson was punched in the arm after spotting a man destroying Republican yard signs. She said the attack left her scared, and her attacker only desisted when she fled to her car and threw it in reverse.

"It was just insane. He was charging at me, saying, ‘Why don't you go kill yourself?'" Anderson told the Washington Free Beacon. "To have someone physically coming after you and attacking you is just disheartening."

#17. Let’s continue on with your idea of “get this into a commercial ASAP”.

Add to the commentary, “This is how Democrats treat women” and show him assaulting her and her injuries.

Should go over well with the “#MeToo crowd of hypocrites, but you are aiming at the sane people of Minnesota if there are any left (er, right) remaining.

The day after the mid-terms it needs to start.

We old grey wolves without family obligations have the training, the experience to make this happen.

Lone wolf action, incremental in nature. A one act play and you're retired. Obtain assistance from no one. Tell no one before or after. Sadly, the time to act is upon us.

Hey, MN Freepers, was this reported in any local newspapers or on TV? I know the national media (except Fox) ignored it. When I was in MN last summer, I noticed how Minnesotans prided themselves on their niceness. I would think this would bother them and how they see themselves.

awww hell put up a billboard in Minnewonkastan that says Mohamm is a liar and cannot save your soul, and God says only my son is worthy to approach the throne..that is free speech, but now it is hate speech, when folks can no longer disagree without violence is that not the meaning of war?

"Jobs Not Mobs" has a nice ring to it, it's effective and easy to understand.

It should be in every GOP ad.

they are actually pretty overt about it nowadays...

which is even scarier when you think about it - they are emboldened.
