Authorities said Monday they are investigating a burglary at a Donald Trump campaign office in suburban Virginia, circulating surveillance video of a man inside the building with what appears to be a full backpack.
The break-in was reported late Sunday at the campaign office in Ashburn, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
The building, in a suburban office park about 30 miles west of downtown Washington, also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in the statement. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.”
Are there more instances these days of anti-right-wing crimes? It seemed like this was almost exclusively right-wing antics doing crimes against the left-wing.
Well, the shooter was a right-winger doing crimes against his own wing. This could be similar in that way.
Has that been made conclusive? Last I heard, he was a registered Republican who also made a donation to a left-wing group.
He could’ve been someone on the political left who wanted to reduce Trump’s chance at being the Republican candidate by registering as Republican to vote against him.
One old $15 donation doesn’t cancel our all the rest of his life, including the political stance he displayed at school.
To be fair though, his goal with the shooting seems to have been more about getting attention than anything else.
I don’t. I’m asking so people more familiar might shed some light on the topic
When you say ‘are there more instances…’ you appear to imply that this case is known clearly to be the left attacking the right.
