Bullet strikes family home of N.C. congressional candidate

[Anonymous]

The laundry room window at Harrigan’s parents’ house in Hickory was shot on Oct. 18. Two weeks later, Harrigan’s campaign decided to blame it on his opponent’s ad that showed a different house in Hickory to say that Harrigan doesn’t live in the district and didn’t rent an apartment in the district and change his voter registration until after he started his campaign. It’s a legitimate political issue to raise. It’s ridiculous to link the ad to the shot based on the known facts.

Nowhere does it what there was guns shooting in the ad.

No it apparently had a photo of the guy’s house in it!

I'm sure the ad included the footage of him/his house to prove some kind of point: that he is wealthy enough to own a lake house, taxes, etc. Obviously the GOP candidate had filmed this footage of himself because I can't imagine him sitting for his opponent's ad. Unless he surreptitiously filmed it, which would also be problematic. Without seeing the ad, it's hard to make a judgment call, but it was the right thing to do after making a bad judgment call.

My post above yours was informational. It was pointing out that unlike GOP candidates, his ad didn’t have crosshairs over his opponent or a gun. It was just a clip of his house. BFD! After GOP ads with crosshairs, not sure the GOP can point at Dems and say they’re responsible for the increasing violence. It’s ludicrous but completely inline with the GOP tactics.

Gotcha, and agree.

The ad centered on a lake house owned by Harrigan in Catawba County and ends with a shot of Jackson standing in front of a house on a lake.

Can anyone tell me why there was an ad centered on a lake house owned by Harrigan? What was the message?

Harrigan’s house is in Hickory, about 50 miles outside the Congressional district.

It's been explained multiple times. The home he lives at isn't in the district where he's running. That's why the home he owns was featured. It's not the home that was shot at. The shooting and the commercial don't seem to be linked, except that one home is owned by the candidate and the other home is owned by a family member. His campaign didn't even complain about the commercial immediately, it was a week or two after the shooting, and the ad was pulled with a statement against violence and in support of law enforcement.

Harriman’s campaign first told the local press that the shot was at Harriman’s house, the one in the ad, but then called back to correct the “typo”.

Correction: Harrigan’s campaign reached out and said the candidate does not own the home. His parents own and live in the home, but family members, including Pat Harrigan’s children, were present at the time of the shooting. The candidate owns a property near the parents’ property where the shooting occurred. An earlier message to CJ suggesting he did own the property contained a typo, according to campaign manager Brandon Craft.

Sheesh. I commented upthread that this is terrible. Which it is. But now you're saying that 1) his opponent did not show the guy's primary residence? 2) the residence that was shot is his parent's residence, not his home nor his lake house?

So...we are just making things up now? A bullet hit my parent's house because a Dem opponent... did or said.. something something?

Sounds to me like he's saying Harrigan is a rich guy, not a middle class worker.

So, I guess it's not such a good idea to let just anybody own a gun, right Rs?

Yes of course. Also, zero Republicans joked or lied about the partisan attack on Paul Pelosi. Any questions?

This and that he doesn’t live in the district he wants to represent.

HICKORY, N.C. (WBTV) – Democrat Jeff Jackson has pulled a campaign ad that focused on a house owned by his opponent, Pat Harrigan. The move comes weeks after police began investigating a bullet that was shot into a house owned by Harrigan’s parents.

The Jackson campaign pulled the ad from WBTV late Thursday morning.

The ad centered on a lake house owned by Harrigan in Catawba County and ends with a shot of Jackson standing in front of a house on a lake.

The shooting happened in October, when Harrigan’s parents and children were in the house, a Harrigan spokesman confirmed.

A spokeswoman for the Hickory Police Department confirmed they are investigating the shooting.

Jeff Jackson Pulls Campaign Ad As Police Investigate Shooting Into Opponent’s Family Home

HICKORY, N.C. — Senator Jeff Jackson, the Democrat running for the NC-14 congressional seat, has pulled a political ad from WCCB-TV and other Charlotte TV stations that showed a house owned by his Republican opponent Pat Harrigan. The decision was in response to a Twitter post from Harrigan that accused Jackson’s campaign of threatening political violence.

The children of the republican candidate are now in hiding. Someone shot into their home.

You seem confused. I heard it was a gay lover concerned about a pedophiles ring in the basement of the guys house. Apparently it is all proven on 4-8 lap tops that came out of Computer repair shop near Mar Largo. Seems like crime follows these republicans around.

Interesting how you make light of a serious situation. I can only imagine the blowback of someone made a joke like this about the Pelosi attack. Good to know Dems are the hypocrites they’ve always been.

Do you seriously think there haven’t been prominent Republicans joking about the Pelosi attack?

That's not a joke. That's the truth, sadly.

All the Republicans in that room laughing thought it was funny.

It was tasteless to retweet.

I do want to know what happened to that whole part of the story the media posted?

Go read the Paul Pelosi thread to find out.

Why? It seems this was a false flag operation.
