It’s interesting how the media turn ice-cold whenever a conservative is attacked by a liberal. It really shows you which outlets are just activists disguised as ‘the news’. That’s okay guys, social media for the win— A video is currently going viral showing Angelica Torres, a supporter of Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin being choked by an unidentified male.
Torres would later explain the incident in a street interview after the attack:
“I was here holding my sign, and … peaceful protest, against you know, Gov. Hochul, and a woman — a very large heavyset woman, I’m assuming, you know, might have been a man — came and took my sign,” Torres told Viral News NY in a video tweet.
Although it’s unclear what led to the altercation, Torres said a man grabbed her by the neck and choked her as she attempted to retrieve her sign while two others prevented her from regaining her property.
“Never wanted to get physical with anyone, I was just there peacefully — just holding my sign — and you know, they didn’t want to hear what I had to say,” she added.
Torres also spoke with FOX News Sunday, saying it upset her that someone attacked her for having a different opinion.
“I was very shocked and upset that I couldn’t express my opinions openly without violence,” she said. “Crime and violence is a big issue in our city.”

Just as a side note, the young black female in a suit seen in the video holding Torres’s arm while she is being choked was recently sworn into office. Councilwoman, Crystal Hudson now represents Manhatten and apparently, violence against women.
And again, social picks up where the media falls off. While the outlets aren’t covering this attack, the video has received more than 300k views at the time of this report. Let’s keep sharing it in hopes that Torres’s attacker is identified.
