New York gubernatorial hopeful Rep. Lee Zeldin was nearly stabbed at a campaign rally in Fairport, New York, a small town just outside of Rochester. The Republican was in the midst of a speech about bail reform as part of his 'United to Fire Hochul' campaign when he was confronted. A group of Zeldin supporters subdued the attacker. The man who took down Zeldin's would-be assailant was named as AMVETS national director Joe Chenelly, reports Rochester First. Following the incident, Chenelly's wife wrote on Facebook: 'Joe Chenelly is a hero.' The event was taken place at a VFW in Fairport.
The candidate was not wounded in the incident

The article at the link has been updated since the original, adding that the assailant was a drunk veteran. The Daily Mail version as usual was loaded with photos that add to the story, so I posted that version instead.

OP, I thought the first time I heard that, it was over the top. Now I know better. The left has lost their minds. If behavior is any indication they are not only insane but violently so.

Bernie and Sid (77WABC radio) is saying that the attacker is already out on the street. Unreal.

David Jachubonis - said to be a 'troubled Iraqi War vet'. A Drunk, troubled, Iraqi War vet.
Might be true. How much action did he see? Not to smear him, but I've seen office clerks, who while enlisted, never saw the front lines, yet bragged of their service. I'll hold judgment... for now...

The proper solution would have been to use that knife on him right on stage. A warning for all of the violent leftists who feel entitled to attack those they disagree with.

Notice something starting to happen ...first with the shooter in Indiana...where a concealed gentleman took out the shooter...and now the incident in New York where the assistant was subdued by the crowd....it's starting to happen...citizens are protecting themselves and taking action....it's a good sign that WE're fighting back....

"Alleged"? "Attempted"? It was "witnessed" and "recorded". It was attempted MURDER, but it is a documented fact that the attack took place and wasn't just "attempted". What kind of crap is this? Q: Why isn't this a report on the observed facts of what happen instead of an inaccurate couching in legal terms that don't apply? A: Brie Stimson doesn't want this to help the Republican that he failed to kill.

Referencing Fox News's take on this... Missed that part. Fox Headline "Alleged Lee Zeldin attempted attacker charged with felony". What has happened to Fox News?

I might be wrong- the weapon this guy is attempting to employ looks all the world like a cat’s ears keychain item sold all over the internet for self defense. There are even videos demonstrating their use.

don't know the (reason) for said knife wielding individual doing what he did but thinking of the (reason) for said assault, it always seems to happen to non-demcommie persons of notoriety. wonder why
and, also
alexandria look at me cortez and ilhan conrade muslim omar weren't even cuffed for their "arrest" photo op at the Supremes building. wonder why

There's no reason for Hochul's campaign to be advertising their opposition's event other than to invite disruption, including violence. This is the party we're up against, folks.

If they are really going to be serious about this they are going to need something more than a lady's 'self defense' keychain.
I easily can believe that this guy was drunk and perhaps insane just based on his choice of 'assassin tools'...

New MOS? Combat lab tech? Medical discharge 2012! This fool is a nut job that uses his service as an excuse to justify his behavior.
BTW I'm a bonified 100% disabled and proud combat Vietnam vet with no regrets. I hate idiots like this guy!

I lived in Perinton in the 60s. Fairport is the village in Perinton. Zip code is Fairport. It's the southeast corner of Monroe county.

I have seen the video a half dozen times. Each time it looks like the attacker was acting in slow motion, as if he was just going through some motions. A real attack (I mean someone who was intent upon inflicting harm) would look nothing like what this bozo did. His motions were sluggish and lacked any conviction at all. He barely had his arms into the act, let alone his upper body.
Bizarre. Totally bizarre. Almost as if it was staged... but I am not willing to say it was.
