Republican lobbyist and Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) organizer Matt Schlapp said his young daughters and wife were “accosted by one of our neighbors” over their politics.
Schlapp added that he would not disclose the name of the person who allegedly accosted his family.
“If this ‘neighbor’ apologizes in person to my wife and two young girls it would be accepted. No one should tell a 9 year old to [expetive] off,” he wrote. “No one. Especially over politics. If Democrats of stature act like this I really don’t want to hear about unity not one second more.”
Schlapp said he wishes him “no harm.”
“I won’t disclose who the person is. Strange thing I met him once and he seemed decent. Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe he has TDS,“ he wrote, referring to ”Trump derangement syndrome,“ a term Trump supporters use for those they consider to be irrationally opposed to the former president. ”We wish him no harm and no one else should either. I just want my kids to feel safe and welcome again @greta. Maybe it’s time to move away.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his wife were surrounded and confronted after the Republican National Convention last summer. Meanwhile, former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai said his family was harassed several years ago.
