You probably saw a story about one of his canvassers being beaten by four men who told him Republicans weren't allowed in their neighborhood if you follow Marco. The gruesome ambulance photos were attached by the senator. Last night one of our canvassers wearing my T-shirt and a Desantis hat was brutally attacked by 4 animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood in #Hialeah #Florida He suffered internal bleeding, a broken jaw & will need facial reconstructive surgery pic.twitter.com/36QpbySg58
The date is October 24, 2022.
Ted Cruz and others jumped on the story and re-shared it as proof that Democrats are not so tolerant after all.

The area where the incident took place is a Republican stronghold. As the day goes on, it becomes clear that the story wasn't told the way it was said. The white supremacist who participated in the neo-Nazi rally in Virginia has a history of violence and is deeply involved in Miami Republican politics.
Hialeah Police say it's too early to say this was politically motivated. Christopher Monzon is the man in the photos. He was called the "Cuban Confederate" for involvement in white supremacist group League of the South. @ADL says he attended 2017 rally in Charlottesville VA https://t.co/o3EQEoMTtR

According to a police report obtained by the Miami New Times, a man with a violent past has been arrested in the attack. Lopez is said to have told Monzon, "You can't pass by here." He was slammed to the ground before he said this. According to the New Times, the report doesn't indicate that Lopez targeted Monzon because he is a Republican. The report doesn't indicate that Monzon was attacked by four animals, as the author claimed in his dehumanizing post, but police told CBS they're looking to talk to two other people of interest.
The fact that the victim has a history of perpetrating white supremacist violence is not something that a U.S. senator would want to leave out.
It's almost like a politician wiped the floor with his opponent in a debate. If a known white supremacist was wearing a t-shirt with my name on it while campaigning for my Senate race, I don't think I'd broadcast that incident in defense of him.
