Lexington, Kentucky—Today, an unhinged radical broke into and damaged the campaign headquarters of Andy Barr, the leading Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. This radical has been a frequent critic of Barr’s politics. In response to the attack, Barr campaign Communications Director Alex Bellizzi released the following statement:
“Just 48 hours after the President’s historic State of the Union Address, a radical extremist broke into the campaign office of Andy Barr—the champion of the America First movement in Kentucky. While we are relieved that our staff and volunteers are safe, this is a cowardly attempt to intimidate our movement. We want to thank the Lexington Police Department for their swift and professional response. Let there be no doubt: Andy Barr will not be intimidated. He will never back down from his principles or fighting for the hardworking people of Kentucky. This radical was motivated to attack our office because he disagreed with Andy Barr’s conservative beliefs. Political violence has been a growing trend in our country, and there is no place for it.”
