Martin Astrof was charged Friday with making a terroristic threat and reckless endangerment. The 75-year-old was jailed pending a Saturday arraignment.
Information on his lawyer wasn’t immediately available. A message on his home phone wasn’t immediately returned.
Suffolk County police say Astrof confronted campaign worker Donato Panico at Zeldin’s campaign headquarters. They say he aggressively backed up his car and nearly struck Panico before speeding off.
Zeldin has represented parts of Long Island since 2015. He says he’s received threats since Trump’s election.
He tweeted on Saturday that Trump’s son, Donald Jr., had reached out to make sure Panico was OK.
It’s HASHOMER!!!!
Another typical liberal…along with Maxine, Nancy, Chucky, and the other TDS filth.
I thought progressives are about open kindness? Hypocrite liberals
Democrates are intolerant demougages
Just another example of the coarsening of our political atmosphere.
He’s neither a liberal nor a “demougage” (nor a demogogue, Archy – you need to go back to school). He’s simply unhinged.
The face of Democrats/liberals on display. Be proud….feh.
I propose a sentence for this jerk when convicted. He should be remanded to live under the same roof for minimum of 6 month with Maxine Waters.
