In case you missed it over the weekend, a group of Republicans in Jacksonville, Florida were targeted with a dangerous and violent assault on Saturday afternoon, as the driver of a van appeared to deliberately accelerate and plow into their voter registration station in a Walmart parking lot.
According to booking documents, Timm has resided in the Jacksonville area for around two years...[he] allegedly drove his van into the tent belonging to the Republican Party of Duval County while volunteers were registering people to vote at the Walmart in Sandalwood.
Beth's post noted the reactions from a number of top Republicans, including the president and both Florida Senators.
If a Trump supporter had perpetrated this exact same act against Democrats, we'd be in the throes of a national conversation and civility emergency.
Republicans had been scolded for not changing their views on the Second Amendment in response to being attacked, and national media had either moved on from the story or moved on to scolding Republicans for their reaction to it.
National media covered the incident voraciously for several hours, but within a day, most had moved on to another leak in the Russia story.
Will any media figures ask whether the van-dodging volunteers may have done, or believed, something that brought on the attack? Part of the lowkey coverage in Florida stems from the fact that nobody died, a fact for which we should all be thankful.
