Monday, Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio announced on Twitter that one of his campaign canvassers was seriously injured while knocking on doors as part of his campaign. In his tweet, he mentioned that the volunteer suffered from internal bleeding and a broken jaw. According to the tweet, the volunteer was attacked by four dogs and told Republicans weren’t allowed in the neighborhood.

Senator Rubio is currently up for reelection in the November 8th elections and is running against Congresswoman Val Demings. As of today, according to FiveThirtyEight, Rubio is ahead in the polls with a 4.8% lead.

A few Democrats have come forward in response to the tweet sending condolences and mentioning they are “not the party of violence.” Though clearly in this case there was definitely some violence since the volunteer will need facial reconstructive surgery.

  1. Make sure they a re sued to their last penny, because that didnt make sense, he could have ignore the canvassers, but they must PAY

  2. The Dems have cultivated a culture of violence. Penalties for criminal activities must increase or we will become just another Venezuela, etc.

  3. The owner of those dogs needs to be prosecuted and his or her dogs put down. What happened to that staffer is unacceptable and he should sue the pants off that person or persons. The democrats continue to say that the GOP are the violent party, but this proves them totally wrong. The democrats are not the party of law and order. They proved that during the “summer of love”.

  4. DISGUSTING !!!!! DOGS SHOULD BE PUT DOWN IF THEY ARE SO VICIOUS AND OWNER SHOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED, MADE TO PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS THEN SERVE TIME IN JAIL !!!

  5. Who has been arrested for this assault ??
    People do not get away with this in Florida do they?
    There will be more if the guilty aren’t caught and punished.

  6. Was law enforcement notified? Should be easy to id the perp since the canvasser should be able to id the house????? DON’T let it slide, that’s how we got to where we are!
