Staff: Gutknecht's Office Egged
Rochester, Minn. (AP) ―
The Rochester, Minn. staff of Congressman Gil Gutknecht said the windows of the 1st District Republican's office were smeared with broken eggs.
Gutknecht said the vandalism was reported to the FBI as required, because the office is federal property.
Staff members said they found eggshells still on the ground beneath Gutknecht's name on four exterior windows when they arrived this morning.
There was no other apparent damage to the building or nearby vehicles.
Gutknecht's campaign manager said there were no witnesses among Gutknecht's official or campaign staffs.
The campaign of Gutknecht's Democratic challenger, Tim Walz, denied any involvement in the egging.
