Choosing Violence: Arsonists Firebomb Pro-life Legislator’s Office in Latest Attack

Two masked individuals smashed a window and threw a lit flare into Washington state House Rep. Andrew Barkis’ office building in Olympia, Washington, on Monday.

Security footage shows two men approaching the office building before breaking the window with a hammer and throwing a flaming flare into the building, which Barkis owns and is leased by the House Republican Organizational Committee, My Northwest reported. The flare landed on the masonry floor but was unable to light the building on fire.

Multiple pro-life groups have been the target of arson since the leaked draft ruling showing the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade was published in May. Barkis, a Washington state House Representative, sponsored a bill in 2021 to protect Down syndrome babies from discriminatory abortions.

Barkis did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. (Read more from “Choosing Violence: Arsonists Firebomb Pro-life Legislator’s Office in Latest Attack” HERE)
