WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Angie Craig's campaign disclosed Friday that the Democrat has been the focus of violent profanity-filled messages after she was attacked in an elevator in her D.C. apartment building earlier this month.
In a news release that included audio of multiple voicemails her congressional office has received, Craig's campaign called out U.S. House Republicans' campaign arm and coverage from Fox News.
"The messages and threats received by Rep. Craig's office following the NRCC hit job and Fox News' false and inflammatory coverage of her assault represent the worst of our society," Craig's spokeswoman Laura Cottrell said in the release. "We are sharing these difficult messages to help everyone understand the impact of this careless rhetoric and what happens after these reckless political attacks. It's dangerous. It's gutter politics at its worst."
