Conservative activist Bevelyn Beatty, Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio, and a third Proud Boy were stabbed in DC just before the election. Beatty was hospitalized with a punctured lung:

On Twitter, many expressed glee at the attack and disappointment that the stabbings were not fatal:

This all happened a month before the stabbings at a Proud Boys rally in DC (victim affiliations unknown), which received considerably more press attention:
