January 1, Congresswoman Assaulted in DC

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1999: U.S. Senate acquits President Bill Clinton in his impeachment trial.

Democratic Rep. Angie Craig (MN) was assaulted in the elevator of her apartment building in Washington, D.C., her office said in a statement.

Nike Coe, her chief of staff, also noted that there is “no evidence that the incident was politically motivated.”

The assault occurred around 7:15 a.m. on Thursday. The third-term congresswoman “defended herself from the attacker and suffered bruising, but is otherwise physically okay,” Coe said.

According to the report filed with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, Craig spotted the assailant in the lobby “acting erratic” and “as if he was under the influence of an unknown substance.” She said “good morning” and he followed her into the elevator and started “to randomly do push ups.”

The attacker punched Craig in the chin and grabbed her neck, per the police report, and the lawmaker threw her hot coffee in self-defense before the suspect fled.

The Metropolitan Police Department issued a news release regarding the incident, announcing that Kendrick Hamlin, 26, “of no fixed address” was arrested and charged with simple assault.

“When the victim defended themselves, the suspect fled the scene,” police said.

      What is wrong with you? A human being was attacked in an elevator. No politics here. If you have no empathy, just move on without comment.

    People are getting fed up with politicians, and what they are doing to the American people. I would be surprised if this is not just a start of what is going to happen.

    Like the attack on Paul Pelosi that was intended for Nancy. What a loving bunch, democrats are.
    Bet democrats will try to pin this attack on a conservative.

    DEMOCRATS LIKE BIDEN AND THE INFAMOUS SQUAD WHERE SCREAMING THE LOUDEST TO ABOLISH THE POLICE. IT IS OK FOR CITIZENS TO GET KILLED, ATTACKED, CHILDREN RAPED. BUT GOD FORBID IT HAPPENS TO ANYONE IN CONGRESS. WE THE TAX PAYERS HAVE TO PAY FOR PRIVATE SECURITY FOR THEM, BUT WE THE HARD WORKING CITIZENS ARE EXPOSED TO BIDENS AND HARRIS CRIMINALS.
    WE DEMAND OUR POLICE FORCE BACK ASAP.
