## Resource

Jonathan De Barros is a Republican candidate for Connecticut’s 5th District who was framed for murder at 16 after killing an armed gang member in clear self-defense. Prosecutors hid and destroyed the attacker’s loaded gun, forcing him into a 19-year sentence. He walked out with a full, unconditional pardon and a clean record. In this episode of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, de Barros exposes how the Connecticut GOP establishment is working harder to stop him than the Democrats are, fielding a last-minute military-industrial candidate to protect the incumbent. He campaigns on sealing the border, ending welfare dependency, restoring fatherhood and faith, and putting America First. Primary is August 11.
