The Dem party constantly votes for folks like Ted Kennedy and Alcee Hastings.
When did either of those assault somebody?
It is not assault per se. Consider it a different sort of crime...either the one he pled guilty to or something more sinister.

Shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.
On July 25, Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, received a two-month suspended sentence, and had his license suspended for a year.
Alcee Hastings was impeached and convicted in the US Senate for accepting bribes and many other things. The Dem controlled Senate, uh, forgot to bar him from holding future public office.

Since they decided to not do that, Hastings ran for Congress. He remains there today.
That's more an indictment of the voters of Hastings' district, though. The Senate did its job and bounced him, as they should have.
