Florida mom denies assault of GOP canvasser was political'My son has never voted'
"On Tuesday, the Miami Herald reported that Diana Rosa Lopez, the mother of the young man accused of brutally assaulting a Republican canvasser and former white supremacist activist in Hialeah, was motivated by politics. That attack was initially publicized as a political hit on Twitter by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
"Lopez, a registered Republican, says it wasn’t about politics — despite a viral tweet from Rubio claiming that his canvasser was attacked because he worked for the GOP," reported Sarah Blaskey and Nicholas Nehamas. "'My son doesn’t know anything about politics. He likes fishing,' Lopez told the Miami Herald in a Tuesday interview at her house. 'My son has never voted.' Lopez said she is a private person scared of losing her job for speaking publicly. She said she votes only in presidential elections. Rubio’s reelection campaign meant little to her until the Republican called her son an 'animal' on Twitter."
"Her son, Javier Jesus Lopez, 25, was arrested Sunday on charges of aggravated battery after a fight with Christopher Monzon, 27, a former candidate for the Hialeah City Council with his own history of violent arrest," said the report. "Photos show Monzon being taken to the hospital wearing a bloody Rubio for Senate campaign t-shirt. The photos, shared by the senator on Twitter, show Monzon on a stretcher with cuts on his face and swelling around his eyes. Another person involved has not been identified, police say.""
