WOBURN -- Police acted immediately after receiving a call from Massachusetts Republican Party headquarters on Wednesday about a man wearing a pink mask entering MassGOP offices and accusing staffers of being "fascists" before threatening to "come back with a weapon," among other profanity-laced threats.

The individual identified himself as Hugh Samson. MassGOP staff was able to positively identify the man after a cursory internet search yielded news photos of him protesting in November 2020:

According to eyewitness accounts, Samson, a defense attorney from Nahant, entered MassGOP offices demanding to take staffers' photos. When asked to leave, the masked Samson then demanded to know why staffers weren't wearing masks inside their offices, calling it "a violation of the state mandate."

According to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance, Samson has donated to several Massachusetts Democrats and Democratic causes, including giving $500 to Attorney General Maura Healey in 2019 and $100 to the Nahant Democratic Town Committee in 2014. The Federal Elections Commission reports that Samson in 2021 alone donated almost $10,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $8,500 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and more than $2,500 to the nonprofit Stop Republicans progressive turnout project, among others.

Meanwhile, news reports show that Samson was charged with aggravated assault in 2009 after fighting with his neighbor. The neighbor's wife alleged Samson "tried to gouge (her husband's) eyes out with his fingers."

Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons was not at the office at the time but thanked the Woburn Police Department for quickly dispatching an officer to the scene.

Dims going crazy. This will never make the National news.

Another of Himmler’s deranged leftard acolytes.

He was wearing a pink mask. Could it be any easier to identify him as a pinko?

“Insurrection!”

Don’t be absurd. Hugh Sampson is merely defending our democracy—speaking truth to power and so on. And the staff were not wearing masks, thereby risking all of us. He’s just following the direction of the ‘light worker’, “Get in their faces!”

Sorry, there isn’t an article (at least not yet). I received this information from the MassGOP communications director via email.

[Andy'smom]

Thanks, that’s the email I got.
