Barbara Boxer was assaulted and robbed on Monday in Oakland by two assailants who stole her cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for the former California senator, now 80, shared an account of the assault on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier today former Senator Barbara Boxer was assaulted in the Jack London Square neighborhood of Oakland. 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,\u201d representatives posted on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>KPIX <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2021\/07\/27\/former-california-senator-barbara-boxer-assaulted-robbed-in-oaklands-jack-london-district\/\">reported<\/a> that the attack happened Monday afternoon around 1:15 p.m. Boxer told the outlet that after the attack she walked a couple blocks to a Verizon store for help and waited for police. A store worker, Joseph Hauken, told the outlet that Boxer came into the store, where he had just sold her the new iPhone two days before it was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just knew that she was shaking, very scared, traumatized. Just in distress, emotional distress. So I just was here to help her, get her water, whatever she needed,\u201d Hauken said.<\/p>\n<p>Boxer told the outlet she wasn\u2019t physically hurt in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really saddened by this experience because here is a grandma alone, on her phone, and two young people attacked,\u201d she told KPIX. \u201cI\u2019m not hurt physically at all. I\u2019m just shook up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boxer added that her two assailants looked younger than 18 and that one was driving a car while the other assaulted her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, he pushed me very hard,\u201d Boxer told the outlet. \u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to describe what happened because it was so fast, but, when I started to move away from him, he came behind me, pushed me hard, and then before I could fall it was like he grabbed my phone in front, so it\u2019s just hard to put all together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boxer also said she told her attackers that she was a grandmother in the hopes that they would leave her alone, but that didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018Why would you do this to a grandma?\u2019 I was yelling at the kid as he was running with my phone,\u201d she said. \u201cI said \u2018I want to call my grandkids, why are you doing this?\u2019 He could care less. He got in the car. But I hope he has some guilt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also told the outlet that even though she retired from the Senate in 2017, she is still trying to help young people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s not one silver bullet, okay? It\u2019s a host of things we have to do, to give our kids hope in the future, to give them opportunity, the education, the jobs, all of those things, the after-school (programs). But also when they step out of line, go after them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Boxer is a Democrat, left-leaning media outlets ignored the story of her assault, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnn-msnbc-barbara-boxer\">reported<\/a>. CNN and MSNBC\u2019s primetime lineups on Monday didn\u2019t mention Boxer at all, but CNN\u2019s \u201cNew Day\u201d covered the story Tuesday morning, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
