Â
Local affiliate, ABC 7 News reported yesterday that a pro recall activist group rallying with banners above a freeway was attacked. The attack itself was on Sunday. Today is the recall election. Itâs unclear when results will start to come out. A man approached the group with a knife and started slashing their banners.
One of the activists tried to stop the knife-wielding man and was viciously attacked. His jaw was broken and skull fractured by the person committing political violence.
This is why they are unhappy that the recall election is even being held. This story was reported locally:
âA man was attacked at a recall Gavin Newsom event today in San Rafael. I talked to some of the other demonstrators who saw the incident. Iâll have the story tonight at 11 on @abc7newsbayarea (P.S. that is not blood on the banner). #CaliforniaRecallElectionâ

ABC 7Â reported in part:
In a video posted on Disclose.tvâs Twitter feed, Republican running for California Gov Larry Elder appears to get attacked. Although the person misses in the video, a person in a gorilla mask tries to throw an egg at his head.
It doesnât appear as though the suspect with the knife has been caught yet.
