[ABCnews4] A man accused of attacking New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin during a recent campaign rally told investigators he'd been drinking that day and didn't know who the congressman was, authorities said as the man was arrested on a federal assault charge Saturday.
David Jakubonis, 43, made an initial court appearance Saturday before a federal magistrate judge on a single count of assaulting a member of Congress with a dangerous weapon. The charge carries a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Claims he did not know who "LEE Zeldin" was,
But "According to the Batavian, a local business owner named Brandon Lewis witnessed the attack, and he told the news outlet that the suspect yelled, “You’re done, Lee. You’re done, Lee.”
BTW: He has been unstable for years.
Brother got the twins when his wife died.
Back in January 2012, he was medically discharged from the military.

And now he doesn't need to TW. If they go the kid glove route, he'll be in a minimum security Fed enclosure with plenty of food, AC and creature comforts.
[DAWN] Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... and his ex-wingman Mike Pence, who went from White House partners to bitter rivals, held dueling rallies on Friday in Arizona, where an upcoming Republican primary election offers an early test of their potential 2024 showdown.
The convergence of campaign events came a day after a congressional hearing on the US Capitol assault, in which a White House security official said members of Pence’s Secret Service detail feared they would die as rioters stormed the building.
Trump, who like Pence is considering running for president in 2024, has savaged his former vice president for what he describes as a failure to block the certification of the 2020 election results and send the process back to the US states.
Such a plan had been cooked up by Trump aides who supported his discredited theory that the election was stolen, but Pence ultimately decided that the action would be illegal.
During the January 6, 2021 insurrection, Trump tweeted an attack on Pence, saying he "didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country." Administration officials testified at Thursday’s hearing that the social media post poured fuel on the fire and turned rioters against the vice president.

Pence/Cheney 2024, Why Vote Not Vote For the Vindictive?
Unfortunately, this is correct. 'Pubs haven't been an effective opposition party at the national level since 1994. You can't change the course of the country unless you have at least 300 Trumps in Congress and that ain't happening with McCarthy and McConnell at the head of the House and Senate.
