“It’s a free country,” Estrada said. “I’m a NRA life member myself. So long as no laws are being broken, I’m not going to tell someone they can’t. But I’ve told all of our volunteers that we’re here for our candidates, we don’t want us to become the story.”
Friday’s incident in Loudoun County, involving a white Republican, seems pretty unlikely to attract the same type of attention.Eight years ago, not everyone had a video camera in their pocket and a way to gather and then distribute the footage to millions.
