Former Sen. Barbara Boxer attacked, robbed in California
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Former Sen. Barbara Boxer was attacked and robbed of her cell phone Monday while in Northern California, according to a Twitter post from her account.
Boxer, a Democrat from California, was in Oakland's Jack London Square neighborhood when someone pushed her in the back and took her phone, according to the tweet.
"Earlier today former Senator Barbara Boxer was assaulted in the Jack London Square neighborhood of Oakland," the social media post reads. "The assailant pushed her in the back, stole her cell phone and jumped in a waiting car. She is thankful that she was not seriously injured."
The statement posted to Boxer's Twitter account said she is "thankful that she was not seriously injured."
Fox News has reached out to a representative of Boxer for additional information.
The Oakland Police Department said the robbery occurred at 1:15 p.m. in the 300 block of 3rd Street. It declined to confirm whether Boxer was the victim.
"The suspect forcefully took loss from the victim, and fled in a nearby waiting vehicle," the police said in a statement.
The department's robbery section is investigating the incident. A $2,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
Boxer, 80, served in the U.S. Senate from 1993 to 2017. She was succeeded by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris after she chose not to seek re-election.
Before serving in the Senate, Boxer served for a decade in the House of Representatives.

Why would an 80 year old retired progressive Senator venture out into a square in Oakland where real people live? Doesn't she know how danderous big cities are in California? Doesn't she know what happened last summer as antifa and BLM were allowed to riot in big blue cities? Doesn't she know how much the police were demonized & emasculated?
Maybe this is the best way for progressives to learn that their radical policies have consequences.
For one day Barbara Boxer was an elderly white woman in Jack London Square, Oakland, CA.
Barbara, honey, welcome to the America you helped transform.
Perhaps the old gal was listening to The Eagles "Lyin' Eyes" and was headed to "the cheatin' side of town">
What's the saying.....a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged
Good call.
I’ve been there many times. Jack London Square is a really nice place. I really like a BBQ restaurant there. The waterfront is nice too as we’re the shops and theater. My ex girlfriend and I liked going there. It’s a tourist destination or maybe now used to be one. I never did like Boxer when she was in office. She never did venture inland to visit constituents in the red areas of the state. She left that to Feinstein who actually was quite reasonable and friendly when she came to our area. All that said, she and no one deserved what happened to her there. At least the Oakland Police chief spoke out strongly against the city’s recent defund the police budget. I simply will not go back to the Bay Area any more until law and order there is restored.
That I heard.
And now you know what she thinks of you when she's secure in her DC home. She's a politician that's willing to lie like a rug to get a vote, and the suckers fell for it hook, line and sinker.
This has a slight karmic tilt to it. Back in the day Boxer pushed to abolish LEO handguns and replace them with sticky foam.
I know many LEO's who agreed with her as long as she was first in line through the door with her sticky foam.
Sticky foam, like bullets has no friends. Nor does a woman who promotes danger.
seems she is getting the results of what she worked for
Gee, I hate to go there, but it is Biblical isn't it? :
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.“ Galatians 6:7-8 .
So many rhetorical questions. I've got one ... why would anyone turn this into a hit piece on a retired 80 year old? Considering other news of the day this reeks of a dead squirrel on a leash.
Why would anyone percieve it thus? Tell us is there any discussion in which some here could refrain from a personal attack?

Par for the course, I'll bet that the seeder or none of the others that commented have any idea of what Jack London Square is and very doubtful that they have ever been there. All they see is Oakland and it's panic time for them. LMAO
You may want to take a look at post # 1.2
You may want to look at the timestamps. When was the last time you were at Jack London Square?
I'm aware of when they were posted. You asked and you recieved.
Yes I did get an answer after I posted my comment. You haven't answered my question, when was the last time you were at Jack London Square?
And you do want to take the air out of it. I won't let you.

IRRELEVANT! Just as irrelevant as me volunteering for the sevice or how I vote. You don't want to discuss the karma of this little story?
What karma, it's obvious that you have no idea what JLS is.
Not irrelevant in your mind, but others see it differently.
Keep on spinning Vic.
LMAO, I already took the hot air you posted out of it.
More spin on your part.

Is that even a crime in California anymore?
The usual gang with Acute California Derangement Syndrome is here. The ones who have never been to California and can't even find it on a map.
Is that anything like the Mutual Admiration Society over on the small Michigan town article who wouldn't know Northern Michigan from one of the holes in their heads?
Difference here being i've spent a lot of time in Calikakistan, From Dego/Chula Vista to the south, to Sea Ranch further North and a little bit of quality "Oorah" time out in the desert at 29 stumps.
I know it well .... great place to visit but i wouldn't live in that overtaxed, over-regulated shit-hole of a state if you paid me to. Seems many Californians feel the same way since they are leaving it in droves as we speak.
Do come and spend your money, then PLEASE, go home!
We are glad your relatives are leaving. We have more than enough red state transplant temporary residents.
You just want your foreign born slave laborers who always remember to vote for your shity democrats.
Good job with the homeless btw.
I thought you guys favored slave labor. Destroying unions. Out sourcing to China.
It turns out, of course, that most of the homeless in California are red state transplants. That's where the opioid crisis and severe mental illness is prevalent. Their relatives and the shitty republican politicians won't help them.
You must be confused. Trade with China destroyed union labor and factories. We could never compete with their cheap/slave labor. Highly educated folk on both coasts benefited mightily with doing business world wide with 7 Billion people, but the people who made things in the middle of the country suffered from globalization. Right now our elite, who have no affection for the country are selling it piecemeal.

Really? PROVE IT.

Really, I thought it was in urban areas.
PROVE IT.
