Political violence seems to be on the rise, especially against GOP figures.
We previously reported on the case of Lee Zeldin and more recently a neighborhood canvasser for Marco Rubio was also brutally attacked by deranged leftists.
Late Monday night saw a continuation of the violence with an alleged attack on GOP Senate candidate Don Bolduc.
Sources claim that Bolduc was assaulted at a debate event, however, numerous sources are claiming that Bolduc was not assaulted at all and that the entire situation was just a misunderstanding.
Videos show an individual rushing Bolduc and Bolduc becoming visibly enraged, although it is not clear what else occurred due to police rushing in:
Here's the video of the anti-police activist attacking Don Bolduc (R) as Bolduc was walking to the #NHSen debate. The activist has a YouTube channel full of videos in which he purposely gets into confrontations with police👇pic.twitter.com/OxduyP0rne

New Hampshire’s Republican Senate candidate Donald C. Bolduc was the victim of an attempted assault prior to Wednesday’s debate against incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), according to the GOP nominee and campaign officials. # # # # # # #https://t.co/63wgjIOCWa pic.twitter.com/FtEAox1gfR

Others claim that Bolduc was not actually assaulted.
Karlyn Borysenko, a libertarian candidate for Governor in New Hampshire, shared a video of the incident from multiple camera angles, although even that video appears to be somewhat unclear:

The Epoch Times provided a hint as to who the alleged attacker may have been:
According to Kevin Donohoe, Hassan’s campaign communications director, the suspect is a “libertarian party activist” who also targeted volunteers of Hassan’s campaign.
“Disgusting behavior. We saw this same libertarian party activist get aggressive with our campaign volunteers at this debate and the last,” Donohoe claimed on Twitter.
We’ve got to stop the political violence encouraged by hate speeches from our leaders. @GenDonBolduc was attacked before his debate tonight. Luckily he is ok and his attacker arrested.
Denounce violence. @GenDonBolduc @jfradioshow @RealAmVoice @rick_wiley @ChristineBauser

National Review shared more details of the incident:
“As the general said on stage tonight, it’s time to lower the temperature of the political discourse in this country.
Prior to the debate, an individual in the crowd gathered outside attempted to punch the general and was quickly apprehended and arrested,” a Bolduc campaign spokesperson told Boston 25 News.
Bolduc was unharmed and the suspect was arrested, his campaign said.
