A Republican congressman in western New York said his election campaign headquarters was vandalized on Aug. 25.
“I will continue to try to unite us, as violence is never acceptable!”
“This type of violence is completely unacceptable,” Reed said. “To the coward who did this ... this will not deter us.”
Photos uploaded by the news website showed the office’s shattered front window and police tape surrounding it.
Reed is the co-chairman of President Donald Trump’s New York reelection campaign.
The vandalism comes amid a wave of civil unrest in several cities, including in Portland, Oregon, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the wake of several high-profile incidents.
“I will never understand what I’m seeing across the country in regards to people thinking that violence is the solution to our problems in America and to see it happen right here in our hometown, the place that my wife and I live and have raised our son and our daughter is something that I never thought we would experience,” Reed said.
