Police arrested a 33-year-old man who allegedly threw a beer can at Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) while he was on a parade celebrating the World Series victory of the Houston Astros.
Footage showed Cruz waving to the crowd as he rode with his family on the back of a vehicle used as a parade float. There was a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd, then someone threw a beer can that narrowly missed his face. The can hit his hand when he tried to block it.
The can reportedly hit Cruz in the “chest/neck area” but he did not need any medical attention. According to the Houston Police Department, the unidentified suspect is facing assault charges.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D) called out the incident on Twitter, writing, “Don’t throw beer or commit violence against someone you politically disagree with. We are a country of voting not violence.”
The incident was the latest report of alleged violence against elected officials, which included a brutal attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.
The Astros won their second championship in five years after beating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games.

The violence is from the Left. Paul Pelosi’s attacker was a BLM supporter and junkie, issues favoured by the Left. And democrats call conservatives violent?????

How many children and babies have those with your same view slaughtered while hiding under their school desk. God will judge those harshly; Your political party will do you no good when trying to explain to Christ your attitude and actions, you will be judge all by yourself. Trump will not be able to lie to the Master to help you out either.
