Lee Zeldin's would-be attacker 'tackled' by group of bystanders: 'He had a blade on his hand'

The Spin
Republican narrative
Just as Zeldin predicted after the attack, the man who tried to stab a gubernatorial candidate was instantly released without bail due to NY's left-leaning and permissive laws. New York's Democrat Gov. Hochul - who's previously called Zeldin a dangerous extremist- even encouraged her supporters to attend this event. There must be accountability.
Democratic narrative
Democrats, including Gov. Hochul, have and always will condemn acts of violence like this in the strongest terms possible. Opposing candidates have always used strong language against one another, but it doesn't mean that Democrats wanted Zeldin to be attacked or hurt.
