Was there a threat of political violence against Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton over the Labor Day weekend? Or was it much ado about nothing? Acton was speaking to Democrats in a tent in Mahoning County when a man moving toward Acton caused several senior citizens to fall down.
Acton’s campaign put out a statement “praying for the recovery of those injured” and argued “This kind of violence has no place in Ohio.”
In the span of just three days, Barbara Perry, director of the government-funded Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism, appeared in two major media pieces. On March 12, she gave a lengthy interview warning of a “fairly high threat level” driven almost exclusively by right-wing extremism and “Active Clubs.” On March 15, CBC Saskatchewan ran a 48-minute segment titled “Have you noticed a rise in anti-immigrant and anti-semitic sentiment?” that again spotlighted Perry alongside reporter Eric Szeto and Canadian Race Relations Foundation CEO Muhammad Hashim.

The U.S. Secret Service wasn’t able to turn over text messages to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to The Washington Post, citing a senior official briefed on the situation.
The agency is expected to share the news with the committee on Friday in response to its subpoena, the Post reported. The information provided will be mostly comprised of previous disclosures that won’t add new information, the senior official said.
