Imagine,that a woman of color was beaten with a cane by a white male Republican at a statewide meeting of Republicans? Imagine the insane amount of media coverage from CNN, MsNBC, the Washington Post, The New York Times, etc. Yet, Moumita Ahmed was assaulted by a white male Clinton supporter at a meeting of New York Democratic Party delegates on Tuesday, June 21st, and - crickets from the MSM.

At that meeting of New York Democratic Party delegates, Nicholas Silitch, a well known Democratic fundraiser and Clinton delegate, struck Moumita Ahmed with his cane - twice - and only the New York Post ran a story that reported briefly on Stilitch's assault of Ms Ahmed.

Sanders delegate Moumit ­Ahmed of Jamaica, Queens, even filed a police complaint after a Hillary Clinton delegate, an elderly, bearded man with a cane, hit her from behind, she said. When she confronted him, he allegedly hit her with his cane again.

“He assaulted me!” Ahmed said. [...]

Politico ran a story about the Tuesday meeting of New York Democrats to, among other things, choose the chairman of the NY delegation to the convention, but they didn't bother to mention the assault on Ms. Ahmed, "an at-large delegate for Bernie Sanders and co-founder of Millennials For Bernie," choosing instead to merely report that Cuomo was selected as Chairman while Sanders delegates booed.

Only independent media covered the story in detail, including the revelation that the man who assaulted Ms. Ahmed was Mr. Silitch. Here is a more detailed report on his assault on her:

The Democratic Party’s past and its future collided Tuesday morning when Moumita Ahmed and Nicholas Silitch crossed paths during a contentious meeting of the New York delegation to next month’s national convention in Philadelphia.

In an ugly scene ... Ahmed, 25, a Sanders delegate and a co-founder of the Millennials for Bernie Facebook page, [moved] down an aisle trying to rally Sanders delegates to mount a challenge to Clinton supporters who have just nominated Gov. Andrew Cuomo to lead the state delegation. She [turned] to confront Silitch who she says had already slapped her from behind with his hand and hit her once with his cane.

“Don’t ever fucking touch me,” Ahmed warns the older Hillary Bro.

As Ahmed turns away to continue walking toward the front of the room, a loud “thwack!” can be heard as Silitch hits her on the back of the leg with his cane. [...]

Ahmed filed a police complaint afterwards and emailed Basil Smikle, executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, explaining to him what had happened. She asked Smikle for his help in identifying her assailant whose identity she did not know at the time. Smikle failed to respond to her request, Ahmed said.

Here is a video that shows part of Ms. Ahmed's confrontation with Mr. Silitch, including the point in time where she tells him not to ever touch her again:

Ms. Ahmed's personal account of the assault can be found at U.S. Uncut. The official statement by New York for Bernie regarding the New York Democratic Party meeting on Tuesday can be found on their Facebook page.

Here's a picture of Silitch pulled from his wife's Facebook page:

According to this story, Silitch and his wife are also NY Democratic state committee members from the 114th Assembly District. When confronted on Tuesday at the meeting about why he hit Ms. Ahmed with his cane he had this to say:

“Go to hell!” He also reacted to accusations of assault by saying, “Why do you beat your wife?”

This is pretty egregious. Yet, I could find nothing in all my Google searches about this Democratic Party meeting on Tuesday, Ms. Ahmed and/or Mr. Silitch, in which a major media outlet filed a story about this assault by a white man against a woman of color, other than that brief mention in the NY Post. Nothing from CNN, MsNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, AP, and so on.

So, does violence against people of color only make the news when Trump supporters do it? It sure seems that way.
