Florida woman who threw drink at Republican Rep. Gaetz sentenced to 15 days in federal custody.
Kondrat'yev ran as a Democrat in 2016 for the seat that Gaetz won representing the state's 1st Congressional District, which encompasses Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle. She withdrew from the race.
Gaetz appeared at Kondrat'yev's sentencing hearing, asking for jail time, her lawyer Eric Stevenson told NBC News on Tuesday. "My supporters are just as passionate as my opponents. They have the capability to be violent too. My efforts to ensure ALL participants remain nonviolent are undermined greatly by the Defendant’s actions," Gaetz said in a pre-sentencing statement provided by Stevenson.
"Only incarceration allows me to reinforce to my supporters and opponents alike that Free Speech is welcomed — but assault will not be tolerated," Gaetz said.Kondrat’yev faced up to a year in prison, but Stevenson said the judge recognized that"this was aberrant behavior on Ms. Kondrat’yev’s part." Thank you to everyone that helped me through this SlushieGate madness. Special thanks to Eric Stevenson of15 days jail, 1 yr probation, $500 fine. Not ideal, but I will survive.
