Campo Kicked Out?
7th District Republican congressional candidate Gabrielle Campo says she was kicked out of an eastside community event by a supporter of Democrat Andre Carson.
Campo says she was at the Far Eastside Family Fun Day at 36th and Mitthoeffer. The event is sponsored by the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service. Campo says she was there and approached Carson about a debate. According to Campo, Carson said he had a busy schedule. Later, Campo says, she was approached by the event organizer who was a Carson supporter and told to leave.
Campo says out of respect for the event, she complied with the request.
I do have to say I’m a bit surprised that this would happen especially when it’s the policy of the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service that all persons have equal opportunity and access to its educational services, activities, and facilities without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, disability or status as a veteran. Apparently political beliefs didn’t make the list.
