A female protestor attending a rally for Gov. Kathy Hochul over the weekend in Manhattan was choked by a man and grabbed by a New York City councilwoman, according to footage of the altercation.
In the footage captured by Viral News NY, Angelica Torres, a female supporter of Republican New York gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin, appears to be choked by a man in attendance at the Hochul rally when she showed up to the event with an anti-Hochul sign.
Additionally, councilwoman Crystal Hudson, a Democrat representing Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, appears to have grabbed Torres.
On Saturday a NYC Councilmember Crystal Hudson (D) held a woman’s arm while another man choked her because the woman was carrying a sign with a political message Hudson didn’t approve of. The silence from the NY media & Democrats about this thuggish behavior has been deafening.
