You make an assassination attempt on a political figure and are released, there’s a good chance you’ll try again. And no one sees this?
Oh, wait… he was trying to stab or cut his intended victim. Nothing to see here! Had he used a firearm, I wonder where the anti- gun people would be on this. Where would the interim NY Governor have been had the attempted assassin had a firearm been used in his attempt.
She needs to keep a sharp eye out.
There are no doubt others who would go after her too, thanks to her no cash bail laws.

@soar2newhighs she has been telling her supporters where he will be and encouraging them to show up at his events.

@AthrillatheHunt Can’t fault her for that. It’s public knowledge where candidates go.
I think Zeldin presents a very serious challenge to her. She’s no Andrew Cuomo.
