Conservative pro-life influencer Savannah Craven Antao shared her experience of being violently assaulted on the street in April, leaving her face seriously injured, Fox News reports. She expressed that violence over political differences has escalated, noting that people are now willing to resort to assault or even killing over disagreements. Craven Antao, a dedicated advocate influenced deeply by the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on a university campus in September, remains committed to engaging in controversial discussions, driven by her faith.
She referenced Bible verse 2 Timothy 3:12 to highlight that persecution is expected for those living a godly life, and described violence from the left as unsurprising. Craven Antao warned that if someone is willing to punch her simply for asking a question, the escalation to deadly violence is possible, urging conservatives to be prepared for anything and to keep speaking out for what is right.
“A lot of the time I’m met with violence and that led to me being brutally assaulted on the street back in April,” Craven Antao told Fox News Digital. “A difference of opinion is something that they’re willing to not only call you names over, assault you over, but then now we see, kill you over.”
“If somebody is willing to punch me in the face by just asking a question, why would the limit stop there? Why not kill somebody? Why not just completely try to silence them?” she added.
Recalling her recent street interviews in Brooklyn for her YouTube channel “Her Patriot Voice,” she noted that many people said they felt unsafe exercising their freedom of speech. Despite threats and the dropping of charges against an assailant due to legal technicalities, she remains determined to continue Charlie Kirk’s legacy and efforts to save the country.
“The left will continue to be violent,” Antao said. “We should expect anything at this point because they’ve gone as far as they possibly could already, so we should be prepared for everything. And the advice that I have for any other conservatives that want to speak out is that it’s our duty to speak for what’s right.”
Fox News reports, the woman accused of sucker-punching her in a street interview that went viral has had her case dismissed after Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office “missed a key filing deadline,” her attorneys said.
