UPDATE: The Houston Fire Department has confirmed tests came back negative for any hazardous substances, leading many to believe this was all just some kind of sick joke by Leftists.

------------------

Leftist extremists shot Steve Scalise and broke Rand Paul's ribs. Now it's possible they're targeting Ted Cruz.

Two people were rushed to the hospital and a hazmat crew was dispatched to Sen Ted Cruz's campaign office in Houston this morning. They're investigating a mailed envelope that contained a white powdery substance, leaving many wondering if its ricin, anthrax or a similar substance.

A variety of fire trucks and at least one hazmat truck was spotted outside the office after campaign staffers opened a suspicious envelope.

Similarly, at least two packages believed to be containing ricin were sent to the Pentagon today. If the two incidents are connected, it wouldn't surprise anyone with half a brain.

If the suspicions about this incident are what they appear to be, this is just one more example of Antifa-inspired extremists targeting people who hold a slightly different political ideology than they one they'd prefer.

We'll keep you posted as this story develops.
