Yikes, things are getting spicy in New York as Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was attacked by a guy while giving a campaign speech in Monroe County near Rochester. A bystander intervened and removed a weapon from the hand of the attacker. Mr. Zeldin was unharmed.
New York – Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for New York governor, was attacked during a campaign stop near Rochester in upstate Monroe County on Thursday night.
Zeldin, also a sitting US congressman from Long Island, was giving a speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Perinton when a man jumped on stage and lunged toward the lawmaker, according to witnesses and video of the incident. “I saw that he [was] approaching the congressman, so I jumped up on the stage,” witness Joe Chenelly told The Post.
“The congressman turned and faced him. I thought he might just be there to hug the congressman or to, you know, maybe heckle him or something along those lines.”
The suspect approached Zeldin wielding an unknown weapon and Chenelly tackled him.
“Once the man was on stage, he reached into his right pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a knife or a razor blade, maybe a box cutter and lunged at the Congressman,” Chenelly said.
Zeldin attempted to block the suspect — who witnesses said was disheveled and possibly intoxicated — and the man lunged at Zeldin once more. (read more)
The real insurrectionists are:
A. Pressley
K. Harris
M. Waters
N. Pelosi
and…Many more in top levels of government..
MSM media.
The fakeNews pushers are Public Enemy #1.
A.) Stand around the US Capitol building yelling at Democrats & RINOs = Get hunted down and sent to jail for 18 months awaiting trial
B.) Go and physically attack a conservative Republican= Get arrested and booked then immediately released without bail fees.
Welcome to the new normal.
Additionally, don’t forget how the liberal Stephen Colbert Show team, who were illegally trespassing in their effort to harrass a Republican on Federal grounds, were released and all charges dropped.
Switch the politics around and those people rot in jail for the next 18 months without a trial.
Our Country is gone.
Up is down and down is up: the inversion of morality to give cover for civilization’s destroyers, aka Democrats/communists, WEF people, and the sinister Soros demolishers of all that is good, according to God.
Are we going to be led around by Satan’s foot soldiers?
Insurrectionist Senator Chuck Schumer with his violent threats against Kavanagh and Gorsuch in a 2020 broadcast over a loudspeaker in front of the Supreme Court in violation of Federal Law, a felony. He was not protected by the “speech and debate” clause since the threats were not made on the floor of the Senate. Traitor AG Bill Barr should have charged him, had the FBI arrest him, handcuffed him, put him in leg irons and thrown him in the DC Jail until bail was set. Sort of like Peter Navarro.
Cat, or kitty claws……………women have them on key changes….easy self defense, but very effective in jabbing people’s faces, eyes, etc.
Illegal is many states. Recently made legal, along with brass knuckles in Texas.
It’s a “MY KITTY” plastic self-defense keychain weapon. Not that it’s marketed as a “weapon” and only costs about ten bucks.
I bought a few of these for about $4 awhile back. I have one in my EDC as a potential last resort for self defense. I’ve never had to use it, while the “ears” are not sharp like a knife, they are very pointy and hard as a rock, so I’d imagine that nice solid punch with one of these will definitely get someones attention.

Thank you!
You slay me w/your name. I love me some pork chop sammiches.
I had one of these gifted to me by a rape crisis counselor when I traveled with my job. I had one confiscated by TSA because I forgot to put it in my checked baggage. My friend promptly sent me another.
Nobody is awake yet, and they just let anyone stroll right up onto the stage and approach this candidate to where he could’ve stabbed him. No security whatsoever. Another politician murdered in Japan literally one week ago. Who let’s people do that? Why don’t the police, the security at the venue stop these people before they are able to grab the target? He pulled out a ten dollar “My Kitty” plastic self-defense keychain weapon. It’s sold to be used specifically used as a ‘weapon’ while attached to a keychain. Intent to penetrate, puncture a person. He should sit in a prison cell without bail until after the election.
To your point. From the NY Post-
The suspect was identified as 43-year-old David Jakubonis of Fairport, NY.
Jakubonis was charged with attempted assault in the second degree and released on his own recognizance.
ATTEMPTED?
Yes, he was attacking a repiblican, so no consequences.
He should have been jailed just because of his plumber’s crack!
Assault requires physical injury so it seems charging as an attempt is correct.
Assault is making a threat. Battery is enacting that threat.
He made the threat and attempted to carry it out.
However if the intended victim is republican ……
I would bet that MTG and Boebert are the only two with any kind of security or even self security.
Even after the mass assassination attempt of the Pubs at the ball field, the rest of them besides those two just don’t get it. Just a lack of awareness of the real world.
We don’t see the domestic terrorist democratics leaders going about with no security.
Round up the usual suspects: White, check; veteran hat, check; kid friendly hello-kitty shapped keyring that’s not actually sharpened, check; make an ‘assualt’ without actually making an attack, check; media narrative on the guess which party attracks violence, check.. I’m sure we don’t need to see who’s been paying that guy. How many days until ‘known to the police’ comes out?
It’s all out assault on Republicans, whether associated with Trump or not.
Then the perps are set free, protected.
It’s gotta stop soon or there will be undesired consequences.
It’s human nature and caused our founding.
Trump had it right when he said, “They’re not after me. They’re after you, but I’m in their way.”
that mf is out on bail already
Actually not even bail. He’s out on his own recognizance.
I would normally comment “Unbelievable” to that development but in this demented and twisted world that we currently live in, it’s now par for the course.
It’s a good thing for liberals that conservatives aren’t as crazy, “mentally irregular”, as liberals. There would be a shortage of body bags.
Did anyone else hear that Hochul told her supporters to attend the Zeldin event?
YES.
Well, he was *mostly* peaceful…

Andy Ngo on Twitter identified the attacker as David Jakubnosis, as in Jacobin-Knosis, the perfect far left extremist name who was a Private at Fort Bragg in NC, 2018. The rest of his social media was immediately locked down per protocol for all far left extremist perpetrators, and if you try to do a search for that name they’ve already blocked that too.
This is just the beginning of democrat if not uni-party party inspired violence vs their opposition and people whom the democrats feel need to be removed from or forced to quit election campaigns as well as retire from office.
Remember the NON-Reaction by democrats when the republican softball team was shot up. That act of terrorism was warning, at the time. Recall the bomb threat to the train carrying republican congressional caucus on their retreat. This time the democrats and deep state mean business.
This is the vehicle that will be used to “pack” the courts. Weak links Roberts, Barret and Kavenaugh as well as (possibly) Gorsuch will be targeted to the point that 2 of them “retire”.
This is a glimpse of the coming campaign season as well as actions to remove opponents of the state and uni-party.
It wasn’t a bomb threat–a dump truck was on the tracks and the train hit it.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-retreat-hits-trash-truck-n843311
The train was carrying Sen Jeff Flake and Rep Paul Ryan. Oh well.
Several sources have identified the attacker as David Jakubonis, 43, of Fairport, (as in Jacobin, the perfect far left extremist name) who was a Private at Fort Bragg in NC, 2008. Some info says he was a medical laboratory technician in the U.S. Army from 2007 to 2012. A Bachelor’s Degree, summa cum laude, Criminal Justice, concentration in Psychology from Rochester Institute of Technology. So I can see he would’ve known exactly what he was doing. Get drunk a little just prior to the act. So I’d say Hochul’s RSVP is an initialism derived from the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît, means to please respond. As Andy Ngo put it that Hochul calling Zeldin as ‘far-right extremist’ is the typical dog whistle used by ANTIFA domestic terrorists for urging their comrades to injure or kill a target. Other sources quoted David Jakubonis as telling Zeldin “You’re done” as he tried to stab him with his “MY KITTY” plastic self-defense keychain weapon. Yes, it is marketed as a weapon too.
The Democrat Party, now the Democommunist Party, had its own violent paramilitary arm, the KKK. They’ve been violent for a very long time.
And the KKK were not prosecuted either.
With Democrats it’s never “a better idea” it’s always “or else”. Obama brought this crap to the table again. It’s an ignorant mans way, but ignorance is now championed, Ebonics, George Floyd a hero, gangs are “cool” prison is a “right of passage” satanism and “goth” give me power over you, homosexuality is acceptable, men and women have no difference. (Explain that to God) abortion is right child birth is wrong.
Anyone siding with these leftist should be called out just that way, and shamed. Voter fraud, tops the list. It’s criminal behavior, criminals are ignorant. Having to deal with criminals is what has replaced law and order.
Before the KKK the Democrats had the Copperheads.
Always Terrorists.
NY Post has a good article:
https://nypost.com/2022/07/21/lee-zeldin-attacked-during-campaign-stop-near-rochester-report/?__s=veaf5yy6ccnyqdx7vug5
Why was the creep who attacked him RELEASED ON OWN RECOGNIZANCE ???
FBI?
Defend yourself from an attacker, in a clear case of self-defense, get arrested and charged with murder.
https://nypost.com/2022/07/07/murder-charge-against-bodega-owner-is-braggs-latest-controversy/
Try to kill a Republican with a knife to the throat? Released on your own recognizance…
https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/lee-zeldins-alleged-attacker-quickly-released-from-jail/
New York is a sewer. I used to live across the state line in Pennsylvania and hated trips into NY. It has only gotten worse in the years since I moved away.
It’s a shame Zeldin didn’t have a CCW and just shoot the attacker. Oh right. It’s New York.
Charges against the Bodega owner were dropped.
Don’t post stuff here that is incorrect.
That only changed after the fact. They are both true reports.
Probably Gay. Or a union thug.
“probably gay”…. unnecessary comment.
“Get in their faces.” The Democrat Party has tacitly, if not explicitly, signaled to it’s legions of thugs that it’s open season on Republicans in the most literal sense.
You can only get away with a unilateral war for so long with the expectation that your enemy will not join the fight. How long before ordinary Americans feel that the cost of peace and turning the other cheek isn’t worth it. How long before the double standard of violence, rhetoric, and behavior become so egregious that it’s no longer possible to play by the rules.
I cannot imagine that Americans felt greater tension or greater antipathy towards their countrymen in 1859.
If he was serious about stabbing Zeldin he had the perfect opportunity. He was right there near his throat with the weapon.
This looks more like a stunt designed to scare Zeldin off the campaign trail or a way to get Zeldin to verbally attack Hochul with unfounded claims. Who knows?
Now the guy had been released and back on the streets.
WTF?!!
Hideous reptilian Bolshevik
Zombie Nazi.
Nazi so overused and not even close. Everyone says Nazi this and that, but the “Nazis” were National Socialists and the biggest opponents of communism. We helped communism defeat national socialism but should have been on the other side. Now look at what has happened to the world. G.M. has them right – Bolsheviks
I was simply referring to her appearance.
Incidently, Nazism, Fascism, is just another animal of the Left, their mutual antagonism was intramural jealousy, not evidence of substantial differences in tyrannical intent.
I despise every species of Socialism, every creature of the Left, and rarely waste energy splitting the frog hair’s difference amongst them.
Sadly, the West was responsible for bankrolling and supporting both Marxist monsters of WWII.
If this were Mafia business, this ugly bitch would never be seen or heard from again. Alas, this bitch is laughing about sending her attack dog and will likely send more. Worse yet, other Communists in power are now emboldened to send their attack dogs and even to plan assassinations; knowing if found out they’ll get less than 10 years by an Obama judge.
If Zeldin had grown up hard he’d have swung his left fist straight into the attacker’s nose or given the attacker an uppercut coming from his thighs. Either would’ve dropped the attacker at which point kicks to the face would be next; in the name of “desperately trying to eliminate the threat”.
Even better, under SCOTUS Bruen ruling, a legally armed citizen could’ve shot the attacker. Multiple times to “fully eliminate the threat”.
Her eyeliner. lol
Needed the blonde with the brown blouse and white slacks in Uvalde….she was throwing some great punches.
First reaction: Ffff’n outragous
Second reaction: Staged
I got’s me doubts!
First Response: Out’fff’n ragous!!!
Quickly followed by second reaction: Staged
I got’s me doubs…
First response: Outragous!!!
Quickly followed by second response: Staged
I got’s me doubts…..
We read it the first time. ??
And shouldn’t his responses been labeled one through three?
Mostly a peaceful attack though, right, CNN?
Notice how Lee’s arm was straight out. It’s that Army training.
Read how Hochul’s statement indicts her own attitude. Her no bail, allow criminals to walk back into the streets policy rings more hollow.
I hope Lee Zeldin beats her like the rented mule she is.
That’s an insult to mules.They have feelings too you know?
Update: The attacker has already been released, according to Breitbart. The Jan. 6 patriots are still in jail, but the leftists keep releasing actual criminals back into society.
Is it ‘time’ yet, Claire?
Clair says “Hold on, I’ll ask Voyant!”
Another reason why everyone who’s able to is leaving NY as fast as they can!
What? Hochel tweets that this violence has no place in New York?
Yet, look at the violence that explodes down-state New York (and Buffalo) since Rudy retired. Idiot extremist politicians foment this kind of violence.
Looks like Zeldin is much more of a tough guy than I realized. Notice how his eyes lock on to the attackers hand to see the danger an thwart the attempt to harm? I am not sure I would have the presence of mind to do that.
Poor planning on Zeldin’s part. The democratic violence is increasing and Zeldin has no defensive weapons at all. Maybe this will help to wake up the Pubs. If going to a large, or even small, gathering be prepared for the worst.
He did a stint in Tikrit w/the 82 Airborne.
He has already been released!
And thus the 2022 campaign, the real campaign, begins.
Start planning now with friends and neighbors to attend the polls in a large group.
If being called names, or reading ugly signs is too much for you, this democracy thing, going forward, is not for you.
I recommend going early (leftists are late-sleepers).
Something seems off. At the 25 second mark, it’s clear that he’s grabbing for the microphone, not trying to stab at Lee Zeldin, certainly no repeated “lunging”. The defensive take down caused more harm than the actual attack.
I’m not condoning this conduct, but it seems like something other than an attack meaning to do harm. I’m aiming my comment at the media sensationalizing something that doesn’t appear to be happening.
So the weapon was for…..
It’s an assault do that to a stranger on the street you go to jail
Do.it.to me you dont go anywhere ever.
This is a joke right? If I hear one more person downplay this attack on a SITTING US Congressman, I am going to SCREAM!!! You carry a weapon, I don’t care the shape, up on a stage where a US Congressman is speaking and approach him saying “You’re done” and grabbing at his person, YOU are DONE. Liberals giggling in the comments like it’s some sort of a joke. This IS a big deal. I just watched a horrific video of a very large man stabbed in the throat by a very small man and he bled out in seconds. This man should NOT be walking the streets and should actually be charged with a federal crime. Yet Jan 6 people still sitting in jail with no bail. Unreal.
Yes but them January 6th folk be INSURRECTIONISTS don’t cha know….
” I just watched a horrific video of a very large man stabbed in the throat by a very small man and he bled out in seconds”
This goes to my point. Not knowing what video you are referring to, as you watched this one, did you see the same level of force, speed or angry aggression against Rep. Zeldin you saw in the other video where the small man viciously attacking the large man.
I can only comment on what I see in the video. The perp’s movements were slow enough, and without the force of strength required for a punch/stabbing motion that Rep. Zeldin was able to grab his forearm. The man’s movement, his extended fingers, his clasping at the microphone before Rep. Zeldin pulled it back don’t point to the kind of attack you watched earlier; they aren’t the same.
This man should have been stopped as he entered the stage, especially when it was witnessed he took a weapon out of his pocket.
He is already free. Something doesn’t add up.
Zeldin had the cat ears neck jabbers forearm locked with his right hand before anyone helped. Zeldin probably saved his own life.
What we know about Lee Zeldin attacker David Jakubonis after Army, wife’s death (July 22, 2022)

David Jakubonis photo (look at the eyes)
?quality=75&strip=all
You see eyes like that, at any time, you get far far away.
So he clearly has some mental issues and they just let him go?
Considering that her campaign put out a press release advising her “supporters” of where Zeldin was going to be appearing so as to confront him on his positions, I’d say that she is equally guilty in abetting this guy to do it.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this guy as an honored guest speaker at the next Democrat convention.
Stituational awareness!!! We are at War on so many levels. WTH, fight like your life depends on it because it does! Demonkrauts & Rabid Rhinos are stripping every right we have, stealing every dime we earn, redrum< our Children, & very few people are connecting the dots of SHOTS, SIDS, SADS, Starvation coming, WEF, WHO, UN, Foreign Council, ETC… Western leaders have agreed to reduce population & carbon footprint. Guess nobody realizes even though they have told us for decades. That we are Worthless Eaters. Look around Wars, Vaxxs, Green Rules, & Politics of division. Are all meant to keep us fighting amongst ourselves, while they kill us because we are the carbon footprint they have declared useless!!! Government openly stealing, laws & justice infiltrated 2 & 3 tiered justice systems install. Complete with Civilian Mob Courts in many areas. Do not consent, demand your rights & swing every chance you get. Listen to Klaus Anal Swab, we are never ever going back to the way it was! Believe him, listen to them! NATO, Super Soldier's, & Satan's Army are real. They believe they're ready for Order out of Choas. We must know, realize, & fight now! There's nobody gonna set this one out! Connect the dots, it's Biblical.
I mentioned this on November 4,right after the election and all I got was……..CRICKETS.You are NOT going to solve this at the ballot box……Prepare and organize NOW.
It can be solved at the ballot box, but only if people vote strategically instead of emotionally, and only if people understand that it’s a process that will take several elections for significant improvement.
And people can’t get testy if things aren’t perfect if the GOP regains control of Congress. Even if McCarthy ends up being a Ryan clone, a GOP majority is still immensely better than a Dem majority.
Oh my, a Hello Kitty punching accessory similar to brass knuckles but the points on the ears will jab into the intended target.
When will people rise against these democrat terrorists? What will it take?
We have to vote the Dems out of power. It’s the only way to fix the problem.
I read another article where the NY governor sicked her attack thugs on Zeldin
And the gop congress stays silent and holds no press conference. Unbelievable cowards.
I don’t think they were silent, I think most media is just not reporting their responses. NY Post has some info. https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/joe-biden-leads-bipartisan-condemnation-of-lee-zeldin-attack/
I remember when NYC was a safe & wonderful city, under Rudy Giuliani.
Speedy dems can turn anything into a cesspool overnight.
RIP NYC
The attacker’s wife passed away, and this guy is the parent to two children. Poor kids.
