One wonders if leftist political violence is now beginning to ooze its way into local conservative candidate races. There has been no evidence that the following situation is that kind of thing, but one definitely wonders…
The body of Barry Christian, a Republican Oklahoma state Senate candidate reported missing earlier this week, has been discovered inside a truck parked in an off-the-beaten-path rural area.
After mysteriously vanishing on Tuesday, the candidate was found dead two days later.
No evidence has been uncovered, or has been made public if any such evidence exists, regarding the cause of Christian’s death, but on the surface the whole thing is looking highly suspicious. Christian was reported missing on Tuesday after he failed to attend a scheduled meeting and was last seen driving the same truck found by officials, according to the Harmon County Sheriff’s Office. His truck with his dead body was found in a secluded wooded area. His daughter and family have released statements regarding the loss, and my heart goes out to them. Any loss, but especially one shrouded with this kind of mystery, must be horrendous to go through and my prayers and love go out to them.
Christian’s campaign site described the candidate as the kind of candidate the violent leftists that have performed assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and a successful murder of Charlie Kirk, would extremely hate. Conservative. MAGA. A small-town-America steeped-in-faith Christian candidate who vowed to proudly stand with President Trump and “fight for the traditional conservative values that make America great” if elected into office.
Again, there is no evidence regarding who murdered Christian, or if even it was a murder in the first place, for the investigation has only just begun – but on the surface this is exactly the kind of scenario that, on the surface, looks very suspiciously like the kind of thing that a violent political activist determined to kill his/her opposition would commit.
Hopefully, time will reveal the truth behind the mystery.
Waiting patiently.
