A breath test found Brandt&#8217;s blood alcohol level above the legal limit.<\/p>\n<p>The case comes as fears of political violence rise across the United States. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say political divisions will increasingly spill over into violence, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/political-violence-opinion-poll-2022-09-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS poll<\/a> this month. President Joe Biden on Sept. 1 used a national speech on unity to say that &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; spread &#8220;fear and lies&#8221; and are committed to &#8220;destroying American democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brandt told the judge in his case that he doesn&#8217;t understand the charges against him and objected to the bail amount. He was ultimately released on $50,000 bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A North Dakota man who allegedly struck a Republican teenager with his car because the two had a &#8220;political argument&#8221; was released on Tuesday, Fox News reported.<br \/>\nThe post Man Who Killed Republican Teenager Over \u2018Political Argument\u2019 Is Free on Bail appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1653820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1653820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1653820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1653820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1653820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1653820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1653820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
