A campaign staffer for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) reportedly suffered serious injuries late Sunday night while knocking on doors, the senator said in a statement Monday afternoon.

“Last night one of our canvassers wearing my T-shirt and a Desantis (sic) hat was brutally attacked by 4 animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood in Hialeah, Florida,” Rubio posted on Twitter.

“He suffered internal bleeding, a broken jaw & will need facial reconstructive surgery,” Rubio continued.

Rubio included photographs of the young man who was attacked that showed his face was badly beaten, and his eyes appeared swollen shut.

The young man was pictured being taken away in an ambulance.

The leftist scum - and their nearly non-existent levels of impulse control - are historically the source of 95%+ of political violence.

Venture into areas of high concentrations of leftist scum unarmed, at your peril.

This is why we can’t allow them to run conservatives voices out of colleges and public spaces. It escalates. When someone feels emboldened to say any group is “not allowed …”, that is a REAL problem.

It’s getting close.

And yet they call us the intolerant ones. Hell, I like when leftist loons spout their crazy crap and I certainly don't want to ban it. Rather I'd prefer it to be on full public display so we can appropriately mock them.

'Zackly. The more those merely LEANING that direction have to defend/justify the pontifications of the leftist loons, the safer society is for another day.

ABC's Miami Affiliate Doxxes Rubio Canvasser Who Was Brutally Attacked, Labels Him White Supremacist

A man canvassing for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the Miami area was brutally attacked Sunday night, as we reported earlier. According to a tweet from Rubio, which was accompanied by pictures of the bloodied and bruised man in an ambulance, someone told the canvasser that “Republicans are not welcome here,” and then four people physically attacked the canvasser, causing internal bleeding and a broken jaw.

Just hours later, ABC’s Miami affiliate ran a story headlined “Hialeah police: ‘No indication’ of political motive in attack on Rubio canvasser,” although the rest of the police spokesman’s statement said, “at this time,” and although the initial report is only about two paragraphs long – indicating that full statements have not been given.

And, although the police did not identify the victim, ABC got right into investigative mode and doxxed him, then linked him to an alleged “white supremacist” group.

Despicable.

WPLG then named the victim and reported that he’d been arrested in 2017 during a protest in Hollywood, Florida regarding renaming Confederate statues and monuments, accused of “jabbing a flag, containing a Confederate design, at people.” They don’t note whether he was convicted or not, but they do note that he was wearing a t-shirt that said, “League of the South” and that the Southern Poverty Law Center considers that group a ‘neo-Confederate’ hate group.”

WPLG reports that the victim “has spoken publicly about his past support of white nationalism, but said he changed his ways” and that he initially agreed to be interviewed by the station about this incident but then changed his mind. Who can blame him?

Assuming that the victim’s background as reported is accurate – both the arrest and the part about changing his ways – still, what does it matter? There’s no indication that the attacker knew any of this, and even if the attacker’s motive for telling the canvasser that he couldn’t pass by was, say, gang territorialism, the fact that someone who was clearly out there as part of the election process was so brutally attacked is not a good thing for our country. And the fact that the press immediately goes into “smear the victim” mode makes them complicit in political violence.

The only thing that's obvious is the hatred that these scumbags exhibit -- far and away the most fascist of fascisti.

Rubio canvasser attack: 2nd suspect arrested, police say he confronted victim for being Republican

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rubio-canvasser-attack-2nd-suspect-arrested-police-say-he-confronted-victim-being-republican (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rubio-canvasser-attack-2nd-suspect-arrested-police-say-he-confronted-victim-being-republican)

Quote
Police in Hialeah, Florida, have arrested a second suspect for an alleged assault on a canvasser for Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., that took place Sunday night.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, Jonathan Alexander Casanova joined Javier Lopez in attacking the canvasser. The document also noted that the canvasser told police that Casanova told him he could not pass through the area because he was a Republican.

"After tirelessly working to bring justice to the victim, Hialeah Police Detectives have arrested and charged Jonathan Alexander Casanova for the attack which occurred on Sunday, October 23, 2022," Sgt. Jose Torres said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The arrest affidavit says that the victim – who has since been identified by local media as Chris Monzon – was walking in the neighborhood handing out fliers for Rubio and Gov. Ron DeSantis when Casanova and Lopez were blocking the sidewalk. Following an argument, the affidavit says, Lopez "rushed the victim and threw him on the ground," and then Casanova "began to kick the victim on the head as he was on the ground." While Casanova kicked him, Lopez punched Monzon in the head, police said.

Among other things embedded in the article above is video with a picture of the victim. The picture very obviously was taken shortly after the assault, and the victim had not been cleaned up, nor had his T-shirt been changed (note the blood on it!). It is a Rubio campaign shirt, which explains how the attackers identified him as an R. Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC, Rubio is Hispanic (Cuban), not exactly among "white nationalists'" favored ethnic groups.

I wonder if this is making news outside of conservative on-line media.

If a MAGA hat wearing thug had attacked a Beto supporter, this would be 24/7 news on CNN and PMSNBC.

Well, it's Florida, so there probably won't be a no-bail arraignment. Something to appreciate, maybe.  :???:
