On Saturday, two volunteers working for the reelection campaign of Texas Governor Greg Abbott were beaten while knocking on doors in a Houston neighborhood, according to the officials who oversee law enforcement for Harris County.
A suspect gave chase to two volunteers while they were driving through a neighborhood in Humble. The suspect tore out the side view mirrors of the automobile they were in and attempted to pull the volunteers out of the car.
“Violence in political contexts is never permissible. In a statement released on Sunday, Mark Miner, a spokeswoman for Texans for Greg Abbott, said the following: “With just over a month left until Election Day, the desire to triumph should never allow itself to be channeled into something more perilous. This does not have a place in the state of Texas.
According to the campaign, Harris County, law enforcement investigators identified the suspect and discovered bits of the volunteers’ var in his garbage can. This information was provided by the campaign. He was taken into custody on counts of criminal mischief.
