A Republican campaign volunteer was brutally beaten by people who said Republicans 'weren't allowed' in their area, Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio said on Monday morning.
The canvasser was clad in Rubio's campaign gear and that of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the senator said.
'Last night one of our canvassers wearing my T-shirt and a Desantis hat was brutally attacked by 4 animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood,' Rubio wrote on Twitter.
'He suffered internal bleeding, a broken jaw & will need facial reconstructive surgery.'
It's not immediately clear whether law enforcement is investigating the alleged incident, or what led up to it.
Growing political divisions have led to a surge in online and real life confrontations that have enveloped both lawmakers and everyday Americans.
The Department of Homeland Security has sent out multiple bulletins this year alone that warn of increased threats against federal employees and others in the political sphere.
All the while, violent rhetoric is becoming normalized language to invigorate the voter base.
Donald Trump said earlier in October that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell 'has a death wish' over the Kentucky Republican's vote to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.

Where did this happen? City, County?
This is why the left was so quick to believe Jussie Smollet. This is the type of thing THEY would do, so just assumed it was believable that conservatives would do it.
Yeah! They are going to charge the guy who got his head cracked with injuring the other guy’s fist. Or damaging his piece of pipe when he hit it with his head. If you think that the law is on our side, or even neutral, you got another side coming. The law is totally on the side of the Left.
It says Hialeah Fla
Thank you.
They intend to. And will if we don’t fight back. The ball is in our court. Will we roll over, tuck our tails between our legs, stick all four arms and legs in the air and quiver? Or will we stand and fight like men? The time to make the decision is getting short. Or it will be made for us.
