A recent wave of pro-abortion terrorist violence<\/a> has swept the nation, with violence so far focused on pregnancy centers and churches. While politicians seem to have been spared, questions surround a June 13 attack on a pro-life Washington politician’s offices.<\/p>\n

Security footage shows two masked men first smashing a window with a hammer, and then throwing a lit, flaming flare into the office of House Rep. Andrew Barkis\u2019s office in Olympia, Washington. The flare failed to start a fire, as it landed on a masonry floor. The building is owned by Barkis, and is leased by the House Republican Organizational Committee.<\/p>\n

Washington State Minority Leader JT Wilcox pointed out<\/a> that Barkis was recently targeted online. “An attack like this changes you forever. It happened on Andrew’s birthday,” he wrote. “On the same day unhinged partisans publish a list including Andrew as an extremist, something we all know is BS. The graphic included a lit fuse. Sick.”<\/p>\n

Early this morning a window was smashed and a lit flare was tossed into the office of my seatmate, Andrew Barkis. The building also houses the office of the House Republican election campaign. Fortunately the flare landed on a masonry floor and the building survived. pic.twitter.com\/pkdc7g0uiV<\/a><\/p>\n
