McDaniel Blames “Democrat Policies” After Pelosi Attack

The Hill reports:

“If this weren’t Paul Pelosi, this criminal would probably be out on the street tomorrow,” McDaniel said on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream.

“We saw Lee Zeldin’s attacker was on the street right after he attacked him. This is what Democrat policies are bringing,” McDaniel said, referring to an attack earlier this year at a campaign event for New York gubernatorial nominee and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R).

But Zeldin’s attacker was not released after the incident in which he rushed a stage at a campaign rally in July, remaining in custody for several months until a federal judge released him to a rehab facility in October.

Ronna McDaniel on Fox News Sunday says it’s “unfair” to link GOP rhetoric to the Pelosi attack bc “this is a deranged individual” and “you can’t say people saying ‘let’s fire Pelosi'” incites violence.

“Violence is up across the board,” she adds, as though it was a random crime. pic.twitter.com/ZYY3Q11XRp

Reminder: in July, Lee Zeldin was attacked on stage by a mentally unstable Iraq War veteran, and a bunch of morons like @TimRunsHisMouth immediately screamed (with no evidence) that the attacker was a “radical leftist.” Well, he wasn’t, as Zeldin himself subsequently acknowledged https://t.co/q4thGJVoA2
