Staff Members Attacked With Bat at Congressman’s Virginia Office
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A person armed with a baseball bat attacked two congressional staff members at a district office in Northern Virginia on Monday after asking to speak with Rep. Gerry Connolly, the congressman said in a statement.
Mr. Connolly, a Democrat, said the individual committed “an act of violence” at his Fairfax, Va., office against two members of his staff, who were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Fairfax City Police said on Twitter that an individual was in custody. The suspect’s name was not immediately released.
“I have the best team in Congress. My District Office staff make themselves available to constituents and members of the public every day,” Mr. Connolly said in a statement . “The thought that someone would take advantage of my staff’s accessibility to commit an act of violence is unconscionable and devastating.”
Mr. Connolly represents a swath of the Northern Virginia suburbs west of Washington, D.C. He was first elected to Congress in 2008.

... and America sinks deeper into the mud.
The craziness continues and escalates.
This is simply crazy beyond description.
Hopefully, the two injured will recover quickly and without long-lasting effects.
What has gotten into people these days?
FOX, tucker, trump, rwnj radio, etc, etc...
More likely to be antifa lefties.
Like on 1/6?
Like during the 2020 summer of
Projection, Deflection & Denial
Typical
No doubt.
Apparently when something like this happens, we are to automatically label it as "outside agitators"
Doesn't matter who it was, they were outside agitators.
Why is this surprising? Politicians, institutions, and the media have inverted the bell curve.
One extreme is attacked by the opposite extreme. And those in the middle are attacked by both extremes.
Good thing it wasn’t a democrat Bernie supporter, he would have used a gun like they did on Scalise.
Seems the perp is some old disgruntled Asian guy
