Aman attacked U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin at a campaign event near Rochester, New York, Thursday evening, according to officials and witnesses.

Zeldin, a Republican running for New York governor, was not reported injured at the incident at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Perinton.

A man hopped up on stage with some type of sharp instrument sometime between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., Mike Cialini, commander of VFW Post 8495, said in a phone interview.

Video of the event recorded by NBC affiliate WHEC of Rochester showed the man approach Zeldin and appear to repeat “you’re done” as Zeldin holds on to his wrist, before others intervene and everyone falls.

1. The photos increase my skepticism of this story. Like they knew

beforehand that he’d be released because he DIDN’T use a knife or gun. Seems so set up for the headlines.

Zeldin does NOT have a look of fear and the ‘attacker’ hardly looks murderously outraged.

2. Interesting choice of weapon for a supposed "assassination attempt."
