Politicizing an elderly couple’s murder and the rape of a two-year-old girl? Keep it classy, Begich.
An elderly Alaskan couple was murdered last year. Their two-year-old granddaughter was raped. And the victims’ family on Friday said Sen. Mark Begich (D., Alaska) is exploiting the grisly incident for political gain, potentially compromising legal action against the killer.
In a scathing cease-and-desist letter, the family’s attorney said Begich’s reelection campaign has “crossed the boundaries of decency, honor, and compassion.”
“You[r] campaign is playing pure politics at the expense of my clients, and frankly has done only what is in the best interests of ‘Mark Begich’ rather than protecting the victims of the most serious crime in Alaska history,” the attorney, Bryon Collins, wrote.
