Representative Tom Reed held a press conference Wednesday afternoon at his Corning campaign office after a brick was thrown through a window overnight.

Reed was joined by his family, Corning Mayor Bill Boland, State Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, and a small group of supporters outside of his office.

“This type of violence is completely unacceptable,” said Reed, “to the coward who did this… this will not deter us.”

The Congressman says that Corning Police are investigating the vandalism and that there are cameras in the area when the brick was thrown around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

No campaign staffers were inside the building and no one was hurt by the brick or broken glass.

KEYWORDS: cityofevil; corningglass; ithaca; mitrano; reed; riots; tom; tracy
Reed is being challenged in this election by Democrat Tracy Mitrano, a resident of Ithaca, the City of Evil.

Mitrano has publicly called Reed a "racist." Any bets on whether the media will call her out for inflammatory rhetoric?

Oh, great, now Corning. What a target-rich environment for the frickin' ANTIFA glass-breakers.

The Glassworks better set up a defensible perimeter, stat.

Political terrorism.

We need special laws and special federal crimes against it.

“This type of violence is completely unacceptable,”

Why do people alway utter such banalities? What type of violence IS acceptable?

These days, I'm yearning to hear this...

*sigh* I live near Ithaca; I probably know them...

"Rapid" might be a bit of an overstatement. :-)

Hey, a brick through a window is something we were trained to laugh about. “It’s me,it’s me, it’s Ernest T!”

I don’t believe Mr. Reed is very solid supporter of President Trump. He’s been shaky on the Democratic generated hoaxes. He also touts the “working across the aisle” pap that shows he’s totally comfortable surrendering to leftists. Hopefully incidents like this are bringing him closer to his 911 moment and realizing we have a whole party supporting the enemies within.

. . here are cameras in the area when the brick was thrown around 1:30 a.m. . .

Unless it's a 4K camera, it won't reveal much.

He’s a NY Trump campaign chair and was one of the first members of Congress to endorse him.
