The Washington Examiner reports (emphasis mine):
"A leading Democratic candidate in a closely watched House race brushed off looting and arson that occurred during nationwide unrest during protests about racism and police brutality sparked by the death of George Floyd.

Burn it to the ground, you know, if that’s what it’s going to take to fix our nation,” retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson said during a live digital event on Tuesday, shown in a clip obtained by the Washington Examiner.Beth Van Duyne, Republican candidate for the 24th Congressional District of Texas tweeted:
The Democrat primary in the 24th District has become a despicable race to the bottom for who can be the most extreme, most radical, and most destructive to our neighborhoods, state, and nation.https://t.co/ui6Vud3qCA— Beth Van Duyne (@Bethvanduyne) June 11, 2020
Retired Air Force Col Kim Olson, Democrat candidate to represent the 24th Congressional District of Texas is in a heated primary with Candace Valenzuela for the party nomination.
