West Virginia state Senate candidate, a veteran, brutally beaten
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/west-virginia-state-senate-candidate-veteran-brutally-beatenWest Virginia state Senate candidate Richard Ojeda was brutally beaten during a cookout Sunday — just two days before his primary — and nearly run over with a pickup truck, Ojeda told NBC News.
To Ojeda, however, it was clearly premeditated — and it was all about politics.
Citing what he described as the intense poverty, corruption and nepotism that plagues the region — and his campaign for transparency and good government — Ojeda said: “The moment you start asking questions, you become public enemy number one.”
“I’m challenging the powers that be,” he added.
