   A female jogger in New York City was raped Thursday by a homeless man   
   wanted for two sex crimes with at least 25 prior arrests.   
      
   The shocking attack on the West Side occurred just hours before former   
   Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at a Manhattan rally for Democratic   
   Gov. Kathy Hochul, accused Republicans of trying to scare voters about a   
   crime wave.   
      
   Carl Phanor, 29, was arrested at the Port Authority bus station hours   
   after the assault, which took place around 5:30 a.m. at Pier 45, the New   
   York Post reported.   
      
   According to law enforcement officials, he grabbed the 43-year-old woman   
   from behind and choked her until she passed out, then sexually assaulted   
   her and robbed her.   
      
   New York City officials charged Mr. Phanor with rape, grand larceny,   
   predatory sexual assault and invalid credit card use.   
      
   The assault was another of the daily violent crimes plaguing New York and   
   other cities across the country — part of a crime wave that Republicans   
   have highlighted in the 2022 midterm campaigns. The GOP is accusing   
   Democratic leaders, including Mrs. Hochul, of supporting soft-on-crime   
   policies that they say fuel lawlessness.   
      
   Mrs. Clinton disputed the GOP narrative when she joined Vice President   
   Kamala Harris at the event for Mrs. Hochul, whose campaign has been   
   scrambling to gain traction in a tightening race against Republican Rep.   
   Lee Zeldin.   
      
   “They don’t care about keeping you safe,” Mrs. Clinton said about   
   Republicans at the rally at Barnard College. “They want to keep you   
   scared.”   
      
   She went on to say, “I see … ads about crime every 30 seconds,” Mrs.   
   Clinton said. “No solutions, but just a lot of really fearful, scary   
   pictures and scary music.”   
      
   Mrs. Clinton also reminded Mrs. Hochul‘s supporters of the attack against   
   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband last week, leaving him with a skull   
   fracture. She said it showed that Republicans are uncaring toward crime   
   victims.   
      
   “Then a terrible crime happens in San Francisco; an intruder hits an 82-   
   year-old man in the head with a hammer — who happens to be married to the   
   speaker of the House — and the Republicans joke about it,” Mrs. Clinton   
   said.   
      
   Mrs. Hochul made a similar remark when she appeared on MSNBC’s   
   “PoliticsNation” on Sunday and told the host, the Rev. Al Sharpton, that   
   Republicans were “data deniers.”   
      
   “These are master manipulators. They have this conspiracy going all across   
   America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as   
   safe. Well, guess what? They’re also not only election deniers, they’re   
   data deniers,” she said.   
      
   All three Democratic female leaders focused mainly on issues related to   
   abortion rights and how Mrs. Hochul has the opportunity to become the   
   first woman to be elected New York governor. She became the first woman to   
   serve as governor after Andrew Cuomo resigned from office following a   
   sexual harassment scandal.   
      
   Fighting rising crime in New York has been central to Mr. Zeldin’s   
   campaign platform, and it has helped move the race remarkably close in the   
   deep-blue state.   
      
   Mr. Zeldin inched ahead of Mrs. Hochul with 48.4% to 47.6% in a recent   
   survey by the Trafalgar Group.
