Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) is calling both of the recent strange break-in incidents involving supporters of primary challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-MS) “bizarre.”

Cochran weighed in personally on both the incident involving political blogger “Constitutional Clayton” Kelly going to the nursing home of Cochran’s wife to photograph her for an anti-Cochran video and the more recent incident involving a top McDaniel staffer and two supporters going to the Hinds County Courthouse (located in a county that went for Cochran) after the courthouse was closed. Election ballots are kept there.

“People were in there after midnight and these are people working for him and his candidacy. What in the world were they doing up there?” Cochran said in a video by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. “And I don’t think anybody knows all of the answers yet or how many people were involved. What were they up to? I’m just raising questions, I don’t have the answers but it sure is bizarre, isn’t it.”
