Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) stated that if he was a Democrat, the attack on him “would be the number one story. And it wouldn’t just be the number one story for a day, it would be the number one story for an entire cycle.” And every single House Republican would be called on to condemn the attack.
Zeldin said, “Well, this keeps happening over and over again, and you could find other stations that should be covering it and aren’t. I’ve been in Congress now — this is my fourth term, and over the course of these years, when you look at the Steve Scalise shooting, you look at Maxine Waters calling from — for confrontation from supporters [of] Trump administration officials at restaurants and movie theaters, or the Supreme Court justices who were being attacked at their homes, this doesn’t fit the narrative. If the fact pattern flips on its head and everything that I’ve just told you resulted in the victim being on the left side of the aisle, being Democrats, you would then see a completely different story. It would be the number one story. And not just for a day, it would be the number one story for an entire cycle.”
He continued, “And they would actually be also calling every House Republican asking for us to comment and condemn what happened, demanding it. … ) One piece is whether or not you cover the story, and some have been covering this story that took place just a couple of nights ago. But the next level is then trying to assign blame. I’m not trying to blame all Democrats for what happened to me two nights ago, that’s just not how we’re wired.”

can this guy win?
The worse part is that they have already released the attacker.
I’d like to know the story about GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip. I’ll bet he didn’t spend one tour in Iraq. The boy was a lab assistant.
Probably not, but Hochul is just a placeholder. She’s not from New York City, and is a bit of a moron. Who knows?
The attacker was arrested again on Federal charges. But yeah, the state let him go.
He was rearrested today
The Feds arrested him right after.
Yes. You are right. My point is that the state said “no problem “.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Absolutely, but we deserve blame. All Breitbart and Newsbusters do is talk about the liberal media. They’re not covering things.
Don’t they travel with security details?
And his attacker would be a white supremist and a Trump supporter. Automatically.
He’s right, you know!
Do you really think NY voters give a s—t?
Judging by who they vote for, no.
Yes, he’s absolutely right about this. It would be the story of the entire election cycle not just in New York, but nationwide.
Assassinating conservatives and assassination attempts have been going on so long it looks normal.... world-wide.
