Charges Dropped After On-Camera Assault on Pro-Life Advocate
A pro-lifer is physically attacked on the street, and the whole thing is caught on video.
Prosecutors let the attacker walk free? That’s what happened in New York City.
Savannah Craven Antao was out doing street interviews for Live Action in New York when a woman came up and punched her in the face.
Savannah needed stitches. She spent thousands of dollars on medical care.
The evidence is clear, the attack was unprovoked, and the victim was targeted for one reason: she is pro-life.
NEW: Pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao says charges against the woman who brutally assaulted her on camera have been dismissed by DA Alvin Bragg's office.

New York City prosecutor Alvin Bragg, the Soros-backed left-winger who was elected on a promise to prosecute President Trump, protected the assailant.
He downgraded the charges to a misdemeanor, then deliberately did not file the proper paperwork, allowing the charges to expire.
All of this without notifying the victim.
A pattern of political violence
This story cannot be understood without reference to the horrific shooting of Charlie Kirk.
The message is the same: if you stand up for conservative or pro-life values in public, you are a target.
Left-wingers, egged on by the extreme rhetoric of Democrats in office, have seemingly given up on debate.
We just saw it in Missouri when a career criminal threatened State Representative Brad Christ while parroting the talking points of Missouri Democrats.
Michael Reilly wanted to “fight fascists” so he went looking for the guy his local politicians told him was an extreme MAGA Republican exerting control and attacking his city.

The first step to solving this problem is to be honest about these incidents and who is perpetrating them.
One side is responsible for the overwhelming majority of political violence in America.

And it isn't the Right.
Don't give us this "both sides" bullshit.

Missouri should do all it can to support President Trump’s crackdown on political violence.

Our disputes should be settled with words, not violence. All Americans, regardless of viewpoint, should be able to share their opinions in the marketplace of ideas without fear of assault.
The best ideas will win.
The worst will be exposed.
