Oh, look.

Another “isolated incident” of rightwing violence.

Arrest made in fiery attack on Wendy Davis’ office

FORT WORTH — One man was arrested late Tuesday in connection with an attack on the Fort Worth office of State Sen. Wendy Davis, authorities said.

The man was picked up about 11 p.m., said Capt. Tom Crow, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Fire Department.

The man, who was not immediately identified, was detained just hours after someone left what Davis described as a “homemade incendiary device” outside the door of her third-floor offices in the So7 development.

A spokesman for Davis said staff members found a pile of burning bottles outside the door.

A staff member used a fire extinguisher to put out waist-high flames.

Police declined to release further details but a news conference was scheduled for 10 a.m.

One of the photos in the story is captioned as follows:
