New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng was hit over the head and robbed Tuesday night while walking home from a restaurant in Washington, D.C.
Meng was returning to Eastern Market, where she lives while in the District, when she was hit in the back of the head. The attacker took her purse as she was falling and ran away, according to Mengs office. The incident took place at 6th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. Northeast.
While this was a frightening ordeal, I fortunately was not seriously injured, Meng said in a statement. Obviously, things could have been much worse. I thank the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia Police for responding quickly and professionally.
According to Mengs office, her injuries include a bruised chin. She had a CAT scan at George Washington University Hospital.
The incident is under investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police and Metro Police, and no suspects have yet been identified, according to WJLA.
Meng has returned to her normal schedule as of Wednesday evening.
Will she start to caucus with the Republicans now?
It ain’t democratic rep doofus writer!
I bet the democrap wish she hadz a gun.
And that’s why we have armored Limos in the Land of the Free.
Shes lucky she wasn’t picked to play the knockout game.
Wouldn’t have made much difference.
The coward conked her on the back of the head.
...unless you are giving a “Black Power” salute, of course!
I’ve hearing about a lot of Amish anger towards Congress lately.
She was probably dining at one of those eateries around Pennsylvania and Third.
Wait, since laws don’t apply to members of Congress, there was no crime, was there?!
I wonder if she will forgive him if he just says he is sorry.
Stupid criminal biting the hand that feeds them their welfare.
She was lucky this time. She better learn to be aware of her surroundings and where she walks in the future.
Knockout game with a little bit of robbery to boot.
Coward indeed. Sad. I hope her situational awareness improves, (and she starts voting conservative but I ain’t holdin my breath). Can always hope.
Ys, but poor St. Trayvon of the Skittles (SBUH) was an “unarmed teenager.”
Gadzooks, null! Don't you know 'Power' is a a thing... we paleface folk don't have any right to any more?
Congress is actually considering awarding her hero status because she showed tenacity and sensitivity by not fighting back. CNN reported several members of Congress are seeking to award Ms. Meng the peace and freedom award before they break for Thanksgiving.
You're going to see wall-to-wall liberal media coverage denouncing this, Obama making another stupid speech, and along with the obligatory child and school photos of the smiling perps and the wailing single-mom screaming "My baby ain't never done hurt nobody!"
Yet no one will talk about the previous victims or the dozens or so episodes that have occurred.
Hopefully she now understands what ObamaCare feels like.
