Allen West is a rising star in the conservative ranks who happens to be African American.
I wonder if the police is going to label this a hate crime? Or does that law only apply for Liberal?
The Blaze reports that a suspicious white powder was mailed to U.S. Rep. Allen West turned out to be a hoax, ending a three-hour scare on Friday that drew a swarm of local and federal investigators to his campaign office in Boca Raton.
Hazardous materials handlers in blue suits tested the powder around 4:30 p.m. in the parking lot outside his office at 2108 N. Federal Highway. No biohazardous substances were detected, according to Boca Raton Fire-Rescue spokesman Frank Correggio.
“It was not anthrax,” he said. The tests did not reveal what it was. A letter mailed with the white powder had mentioned the word “anthrax” and included derogatory comments toward West, according to a statement from Chief of Staff Jonathan Blythe.
A campaign worker picked up the letter at a post office box in Deerfield Beach and opened it at West’s campaign office in Boca Raton, according to Blythe. The discovery triggered a local and federal investigation, putting West’s offices in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale on high alert.
