On Tuesday night, Leo Flores watched over some signs with a video camera. Just days prior, Lubbock Republican Party County Chair Carl Tepper had said, I have a weird suspicion that the Democrats might have damaged their own signs. Its an outlandish story.
Leo wanted to capture proof that Democrats in Lubbock County were being targeted, and to disprove the absurd Republican talking point that they had caused the vandalism themselves.
At about 2a.m. four men drove up to attack the signs. Leo was there with his camera on, and called 911. The vandals then jumped in their truck and went to where Leo stood. They attempted to take his camera and punched the volunteer in his face. Throughout all of this, Leo kept his camera on.
The Lubbock police have now released that video, and we share this breaking news and footage with you.
You can catch that video here.

(5,942 posts)days in our red, little town - according to our local Dem campaign HQ. They're asking people to take them in each night, and they're offering to replace stolen signs at no cost. Tonight at dinner in a local restaurant, a woman stood up and yelled, "Democrats in the house!" and pointed to two people at her table and then made a cross sign as if to ward off evil. When we left, we walked over to the Dem couple and loudly asked to shake another Obama supporter's hand. Yeah, we got some strange looks.
