• Rubio canvasser pleads the Fifth under oath when questioned about 'poli

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 7 19:04:59 2022
    This is the guy who claimed he was attacked--for political
    reasons--after Marco Rubio told him it was a politically motivated
    attack. The, lol, supposed victim is pleading the 5th. It looks more
    likely that he got thumped for being an asshole who didn't know when to
    shut up and walk away.

    "It's been only a few weeks since a Republican canvasser wearing a Marco
    Rubio T-shirt said he was beaten up on the east side of Hialeah, a Miami suburb.

    U.S. Senator Marco Rubio went so far as to tweet that the canvasser was attacked by “animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood.”

    But in court on Monday, a defense attorney probed accuser Christopher
    Monzon about what he claimed happened. The attorney for one of the
    alleged attackers, Jonathan Casanova said that the fight actually
    happened as a result of a "testosterone-filled fisticuffs because Monzon
    was staring at his client’s girlfriend," reported the Herald.

    "Even the prosecutor said he did not believe politics had anything to do
    with the incident, instead urging the judge that the 'case should be
    looked at on the facts,'" they said according to the story.

    “So you agree with me you didn’t tell them,” said Penate Hernandez, an assistant public defender.

    “I mentioned the word word ‘canvassing,’ which implied they had a
    problem with me canvassing there,” Monzon said. He went on to say “it
    was my interpretation of what happened.”

    The judge in the case also agreed not to keep the other alleged
    attacker, Javier Lopez, in prison during the trial, after he said
    prosecutors established enough evidence that Lopez may have committed a
    crime, but the surveillance videos “do not clearly reflect who was the initial aggressor in this incident.”

    Their fearless leader is claiming to be a yuge victim of massive conspiracies. So no one should be surprised that the rest of the cult is
    also claiming to be victims of one sort or another.
