Kelly Cooper, a Republican who ran for Congress against Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ-04) last fall, had one of his restaurants burglarized after an article came out about him announcing his intent to challenge Stanton again. Cooper is concerned the burglary may have been politically motivated, since the crime occurred just a few days after the article came out.
Kelly told The Arizona Sun Times it could either be a regular smash and grab or a targeted political attack. He said his other two restaurants have been broken into before, but this was the most organized burglary he’d experienced. He pointed to the high percentage of felons involved with the BLM and Antifa riots, and noted that the burglars drove a white C-Class Mercedes.

Companies like Crowds on Demand brazenly supply paid workers to participate in protests.
