A Pennsylvania Democrat who is running for a state House seat called 911 after an attack at his home said he had to call the police for the third time in two weeks because of problems at his home.
“A candidate running for a state House seat called 911 Monday morning after police were called to his Fayette County home after being assaulted for the third time in two weeks.” Pittsburgh Post Newspaper Midterms are reported with a few days to go.
“Democrat Richard Ringer was found in his backyard around 5 a.m. by his assailant, who was bleeding and knocked unconscious,” he said.
“A man was standing with his back to me. I went and gave him a bear hug, I wrestled, I ended up on the ground,” said Mr. Ringer, 69, who is running against Republican Charity Grim Krupa in a competitive race for the 51st House District seat. “It was bigger than me and pinned me on my left side. … He hit my head, face and eyes 10 to 12 times and pulled me out.
Their report was originally posted on October 31st, but will be read on November 1st.
Ringer is a Democrat. Former reporter New York Times, Uniontown mayor and journalism professor. He is running for release. A Republican was arrested for driving under the influence. Republicans replaced state Rep. Matthew Dowling with attorney Charity Grimm Krupa on the ballot.
CBS News The state police confirmed that they are investigating. According to the report, “He (Ringer) believes he was targeted. The Fayette County Democratic Party called the alleged attack abhorrent. “
“I personally believe it’s politics, I really do,” party chairman George Rattai told CBS. “What happened to Nancy Pelosi’s husband happened to one of our candidates.”
Authoritative expert and author of Strong People (a must-read for everyone) Ruth Ben-Gyatt He tweeted on this story: “This is what dictators do. They beat up opponents, thinking they were too scared to compete. This is how you ‘win’ an election when you can’t win the popular vote: you use violence to clear the field.
The challenge of reporting an increase in violence and threats can weaken public participation and create more fear, which the terrorists seek.
So a note from the Pennsylvania Department of Justice to CBS that they and the federal government are on it and doing everything they can to keep the election safe and trained by the Justice Department task force and the department. Identifying and Mitigating Homeland Security Threats:
“The safety of voters and election workers is a top priority. The State Department takes any reports of intimidation or intimidation seriously and reports all threats to the appropriate authorities for further investigation. Through Homes, it shared information, provided training resources on identifying and preventing threats, and responded to reports from department and county officials. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security conducted risk and vulnerability assessments directly with Pennsylvania counties to identify opportunities for counties to improve their physical and network security postures.
Ben-Gyat He continued In the most important piece of advice, even if it’s the last thing you want to do: “Please send this to the GOP voters you know and ask them if they approve of attacks on members of the other political party.” Model it as q as freedom and individuality. If they answer yes, ask them why. Using this as a prompt, discuss it with friends and family who vote GOP.
Her advice is important, because our media is not doing the job of calling out this terrorism, nor is it willing to hold Republican leaders accountable and try to de-radicalize this terrorist cell. Degraded decency.
But the fact is The vast majority of killings by extremists come from the right wing. So while it’s important to recognize the proliferation of threats and violence, it’s also important to recognize where most of it is coming from—and it’s from the right.
Republicans favored political victory through terror and violence to replace elections.
People who refuse to tell the truth about Election 2020, who mock and trivialize the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, and who are currently threatening and intimidating voters, are not because they feel they can win on the ballot.
They do these things because they know that if everyone else chooses, they will lose.
The election is November 8. Make sure to vote.
