Reporter's Notebook: Backlash in the halls of Congress
Fox News
Vandalism that occurred on July 4 outside Rep. Brad Schneider's office on Capitol Hill comes as part of an increase in violence and threats against lawmakers in recent years.
That’s why some on Capitol Hill found the vandalism to an exterior wall of the office belonging to Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., in the Cannon House Office Building so alarming last week. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
"My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway," said Schneider in a post on X Friday morning, just after the July 4th holiday.
