Rayla Campbell, a black Republican challenging progressive U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), fled her home in fear for her life after a popular Boston Black Lives Matter activist trashed her on social media over her marriage to a white man and "proximity to white supremacy."
Campbell, a mother of three, told the Boston Herald on Tuesday that the crude attack was "racism to the ultimate level."
"Racism is racism no matter where it comes from," she said. "I was horrified and absolutely terrified. I had to uproot my family and just stay elsewhere."
