I guess we are to assume that the reason for the attack was her movie role and, by implication, it was some right wing nut who committed the crime.
Maybe it was a left wing nut who thought she was Ann Coulter.
There is no evidence that this had anything to do with her film role or politics, yet the story seems to give that implication.
The most likely cause is domestic problems (a boyfriend) or a robbery. I didn’t see anything in the story about a robbery.
To try and make political hay out of this is pitiful. The woman’s been stabbed, and the reporter wants to slip in politics?
Or some left wing nut that thought she really was Ann Coulter.
