Police have launched an investigation after a “packet of information” that local city officials described as racist was sent to Utah Republican congressional candidate Mia Love’s office in Saratoga Springs, The Deseret News reports.
Love made a splash with her rousing address at the Republican National Convention last month, cementing her place as a rising star in the GOP. She is also trying to become the first black GOP congresswoman in U.S. history.
Unfortunately, her new-found fame has also made her a target.

Hate isn't a democrat or republican problem. It's PEOPLE, period.
You go girl
Pull that RACE card, AGAIN...zzzzzzz
You are running for office and your credentials are that you are a black woman. Nice. Good job. And why should we vote for you? Any particular agenda, purpose, beliefs, morals involved? Probably not, unless you mentioned them, which you didn't. Sooo, again, huh?????
F.Y.I.
Jim Crow laws were a product of the solidly Democratic South. Conservative white Southern Democrats, exploiting racial fear, attacking the corruption (real or perceived) of Reconstruction Republican governments, and suppressing the black vote by violence and intimidation, took over state governments in the South in the 1870s and essentially dominated them for nearly 100 years. They disfranchised most blacks through voter registration laws and new constitutions by the end of the nineteenth century. In 1956, Southern resistance to the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education resulted in a resolution called the Southern Manifesto. It was read into the Congressional Record and supported by 96 Southern Congressmen and senators, all but two of them Southern Democrats.
