Marco Rubio conjured up a viral story of anti-conservative violence out of thin air. Thankfully, @DavidOvalle305, @Blaskey_S, and @NickNehamas uncovered what actually happened.

Video excerpt shows the street clash in Hialeah that ended with Christopher Monzon, a canvasser for Florida's Republican Party, hospitalized.

The man accused of a politically motivated attack on a Republican Party canvasser in Hialeah last month actually encouraged the canvasser to keep handing out fliers just moments before the fight started, according to cellphone videos obtained by the Miami Herald — raising more questions about whether the canvasser was attacked for being a Republican, as both he and Sen. Marco Rubio have repeatedly stated.

“It’s okay, bro, we’re telling you, do your job,” Jonathan Casanova, 27, can be heard saying to canvasser Christopher Monzon, 27, who was handing out Rubio fliers in an east Hialeah neighborhood on Oct. 23.

The videos — which are not contiguous and do not capture the actual beating — show an escalating argument between Monzon and his two alleged assailants, Casanova and Javier Jesus Lopez, 25, outside Lopez’s home. Lopez can be heard in the footage telling Monzon to “keep walking” while also threatening to “rush” the canvasser. At one point, Lopez threatens to shoot Monzon.

Although Casanova mentions the canvasser’s Rubio t-shirt and says “look what the U.S. Senate brings,” the video does not show him saying Monzon was unwelcome in the neighborhood because he was a Republican, as Monzon later told police.

“Just do your job, bro,” Casanova says repeatedly as he stands with his body angled away from Monzon. Pointing him down the street, Casanova told Monzon, “You’re looking too hard.”
