Two staff members at Rep. Gerry Connolly’s (D-VA) district office in Fairfax were attacked by a person armed with a baseball bat on Monday, according to a statement released by the congressman.
Just your normal MAGA Capitol tourist.
Is DeSantis fundraising for the attacker’s legal defense fund yet?
No, but Governor Fleece Vest will.
Way O/T – Fleece Vest will be giving the commencement address at VMI – where the acceptance rate is now over 90%.
Baseball bat or choke hold? What’s the best way to inflict stochastic violence?
Keeping the post on topic because not everything is meant to be a joke esp. when people landed in a hospital and Pelosi’s husband was attacked by a similarly crazed right winger and right wingers want to know when it’s time to start killing Democrats.

At a conservative rally in western Idaho last month, a young man stepped up to a microphone to ask when he could start killing Democrats.
“When do we get to use the guns?” he said as the audience applauded. “How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?” The local state representative, a Republican, later called it a “fair” question.
Lawsuit claims Rudy Giuliani ‘took Viagra constantly’ and was recorded demanding sex from employee - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism
“Unfortunately, Giuliani’s seemingly generous offers were a sham motivated by his secret desire to pursue a sexual relationship with Ms. Dunphy—in total disregard for the restraints that should have protected her as his employee and client,” attorneys for Dunphy state. “He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands—which came virtually anytime, anywhere—was an absolute requirement of her employment and of his legal representation.”
Giuliani allegedly drank alcohol and “took Viagra constantly,” the document states.
The lawsuit claims that some of Giuliani’s demands for sex were captured on recordings. Other allegations involved Giuliani conspiring with Trump to sell pardons for $2 million each.
Dunphy is seeking at least $10 million in damages.
An AR15 of course. But Joe Biden’s inflation has put guns and ammunition out if reach for many hard working Americans.
What’s Rudi and Viagra got to do with Democrats being attacked and two sent to a hospital.
No but Youngkin will pardon him if convicted, can’t be undone by the guv of Texas.
This is why the US needs a federal domestic terrorism law.
This asshole will be charged with aggravated assault and other “state” charges.
The feds could get their own charges filed if there was a federal terrorism law, and if it could proven the assailant was there for terrorism purposes.
Satirical comments and use of off color humor are a valid methods to express disdain for the current state of affairs.
To be fair to the alleged attacker, I’m sure he had grievances that he felt strongly about, and society shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss those valid concerns.
I’ve heard lefties arguing about whether there is ever an appropriate time to cold-cock a Nazi. Meantime RWNJs ask with apparent eager anticipation when they can shoot dems.
BTW - I say that at some point it IS appropriate to cold-cock a Nazi. Not sure exactly when that is but if you wait until they are loading you into cattle cars you have waited TOO LONG!
Lemme guess, was he wearing a red hat?
How generous of you to condescend to tell us what you would have us believe on the strength of your ukase.
Is this a joke?
Maybe he felt economic anxiety!
Good catch.
I just read the NYT article. It had this:
The attack comes amid a rise in threats and violent political speech against members of Congress in recent years. In October, an intruder bludgeoned Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, inside their San Francisco home after he shouted “Where is Nancy?”
Which members of Congress would that be? 
Thank god, it wasn’t a gun. This time. MAGA republicas are domestic terrorists. End of story.
