A bitter and contentious Wisconsin congressional race saw a new level of antagonism Wednesday morning when an openly gay Republican campaign worker became the victim of an apparent hate crime.
Kyle Wood, a full-time volunteer working for GOP House candidate Chad Lee, was hospitalized for injuries suffered during what he said was an assault at his home.
Wood told The Daily Caller that vandalism preceding the assault, along with his attacker’s statements during the incident, suggested his sexual orientation and his politics each played a role.
“I was getting ready for work and there was a knock at the door,” Wood emailed The Daily Caller late Wednesday. “I opened it, and a guy wrapped a ligature around my neck, slammed my head into the doorway, and smashed my face into a mirror, telling me ‘You should have kept your [f*******] mouth shut.’”
“He then kidney-punched me, while at the same time saying I was ‘warned,’ and continued to beat me,” he added.

According to an incident report on the Madison Police Department’s website, police were called to a 29-year-old victim’s home in the 900 block of High Street at 8:07 a.m. on Wednesday. The victim described the attacker as white, 6 foot 2, with curly brown hair, a broad nose and a muscular build. He told police the assailant came in through an unlocked door at about 8 a.m., attacked him, but didn’t take anything.
