Amy Acton, the Ohio version of Fauci, has struggled to gain traction and a widely circulated fair clip of her seemed to be showing a Howard Dean style meltdown. And then the media was suddenly ablaze with headlines claiming that an “armed attacker” had “lunged” at Acton and been taken down with multiple injuries.
Both Acton’s campaign and the media pushed this hoax.

“He appeared in that tent wanting to ask questions,” Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro told the judge during the hearing. “You should know law enforcement gained consent for them to have complete access to his cellphone so they found no threats.”
Maro said after the hearing that the video Havas took shows him “walking into the tent recording and moving forward, calling out her name.” Acton, a physician, is the state’s former public health director.
“All he got out was Dr. Acton, Dr. Acton,” Maro said.
Former U.S. Rep. John Boccieri, a Democratic candidate for the Ohio House, said he was near Acton in the tent when Havas “came in very aggressively” with his cellphone in the air screaming Acton’s name while rushing toward her. He said officers quickly “sprang into action,” grabbed the man and pulled him out of the tent.
The media is still trying to distort this, but here’s the prosecutor’s own words. ...
There was no assault here. Just a likely overreaction when an armed man shouting Acton’s name and brandishing an object moved towards her, bumped into some old people and the security people stepped in. The rest was probably chaos. But there was no assault, just an opportunistic lie.

Amy B. Actin’.
Compare the left’s reaction to this to their reaction when California Sen. Padilla did the same and rushed Kristi Noem at a presser and got nabbed.
Trump got shot in the head by a nut with a rifle. The Democrats said the incident was fake.
But this? Democrats really “believe” this one.
Kinda telling, isn’t it!
Selective editing, lots of storytelling, the next thing we know there will be a hit song “The Ballad of Amy Acton!”
All of it fully orchestrated behind the scenes.
Never heard of she would will do for Ohio, only attacking VP and President Trump.
So basically her security detail assaulted a man who was asking questions.
Acton’s media spokesperson pushed the idea that she was attacked.
Acton must generate interest as she has ZERO plan, ZERO ideas, ZERO experience.
SHE shut Ohio down during Covid.
SHE loves mandates.
SHE doesn’t want anyone to ask her a question.
Sheesh. Propagandists & politicians should be charged with crimes against citizens of the republic. The guy was armed? Yeah just about every man has 2 arms. Women and children are armed too.

Wasn’t that speculation day of? IIRC I commented on a post day of about “sympathy votes”. We know them so well.
“The media is still trying to distort this, but here’s the prosecutor’s own words. ...”
I live close to where this happened. The average low information voter is only hearing that some right wing, gun owner nut rushed Acton.
Acton quit when her lockdowns faced backlash. If elected, she’ll make Spanberger look like a rock ribbed conservative. And I have no confidence that she won’t be elected.
It was probably that reporter (Cleveland Plain Dealer?) who, during COVID, would use his question to tell her how wonderful she looked in her outfit. He was annoying as hell.
Yeah but will the clueless middle who decide elections ever hear the truth? That is the question. She was rigging Butler moment and that’s what the scum in MSM is putting out there.
She’s the most bizarre person I’ve seen in politics.
Obese guy trips near party bigwigs and squashes two bystanders at communist fair.
Media climaxes.
