Authorities arrested an unhinged leftist, Farzad Fazeli, yesterday for allegedly attempting to stab a Republican candidate for Congress at a fair over the weekend.
Peter Hasson, at The Daily Caller, has more:
Local media identified the candidate as Republican Rudy Peters, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell in November.
Peters survived serious injury thanks to a malfunctioning switchblade, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday. The attempted stabbing was preceded by Fazeli making “disparaging remarks” about the Republican Party, according to the sheriff’s office.
Fazeli “approached the victim in an aggressive manner and made disparaging remarks about his political party and elected officials,” Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, citing witness statements.
“During the incident, Fazeli is suspected to have pulled out a switchblade knife and attempted to stab the victim. The knife malfunctioned and the victim became involved in a physical struggle with Fazeli.”
The reported assassination attempt comes three days after someone firebombed a Republican field office in Wyoming.
