You may have heard about the alleged assassination attempt against Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton over the weekend.
"While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people. 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," said Addie Bullock, communications director for the Acton campaign.
There's just one problem. This story is a complete lie.
That statement is carefully worded to make you think Acton was standing in a gunman's crosshairs. She wasn't. Acton was never touched, never injured, and never threatened.
An armed man pushed through a crowd at the Canfield Fair on Sunday, knocking down two elderly fairgoers before deputies tackled him and placed him under arrest. Within hours, her campaign and a sympathetic press corps turned an arrest for disorderly conduct into an assassination attempt.
The campaign lied.
Yet, the New York Times, of all outlets, couldn't even back up the Acton campaign's version of events.
"An armed man was arrested Sunday after forcing his way through a crowd toward Dr. Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for Ohio governor, the authorities said," the paper reported. "Dr. Acton was giving a speech at the Mahoning County Democratic Party tent at a fair in Canfield, in the northeastern part of the state, when a man pushed through the crowd, knocking over two elderly audience members, according to the county sheriff, Jerry Greene, and two witnesses. The man did not draw his weapons, according to Sheriff Greene and the witnesses. Dr. Acton was not injured."

She’s trying to imitate Donald Trump Butler, PA redux. She doesn’t have the gonads so she’s lying her posterior off to pull it off and failing. Pathetic!

You mean when she was piloting the KC130 in a spiraling descent to avoid AA?
Mm-hm. Yeah. Sure, Jan.
Thank heavens she brought the plane down safely and evacuated the crew. Saving all onboard and countless civilian lives.
Barely escaping while under fire. What a woman!
Oops. That story didn’t survive scrutiny.
Apparently he wasn’t going to harm Acton because they released him already
