BREAKING: Space Force officers’ DC home torched in anti-Trump attack—GoFundMe approaches $100,000

Two active-duty US Space Force officers were victims of an apparent targeted attack after their Washington, DC home was broken into, vandalized, and intentionally set on fire while they were out of town, according to a GoFundMe page created for the family.

Jason Taylor and Kaylee Taylor returned to find their residence heavily damaged by fire, with most of their belongings destroyed. The couple’s vehicle was reportedly vandalized with spray-painted messages reading "F*ck Trump" and "F*ck the Space Force." These photos were not shared on the fundraiser, however. 

The incident occurred on Sunday, Dec. 28. Both Taylors are active-duty members of the United States Space Force. They were not home at the time of the attack and were traveling with their infant daughter, Rae.

“While they were out of town, their home was broken into, robbed, vandalized, and intentionally set on fire,” the GoFundMe page states. “Kaylee and Jason… and their beautiful baby girl, Rae, lost pretty much everything they owned.”

The fundraiser says the family lost clothing, furniture, baby items, keepsakes, and other essentials. A family cat, Marlee, died in the fire. “Tragically, in the fire they also lost their beloved cat, Marlee, who was a cherished part of their family,” the page reads.

The Taylors were not physically harmed. “We are incredibly grateful that Kaylee, Jason, and Rae were not home at the time and are physically safe,” the page says. “However, they are now faced with the daunting task of starting over completely from nothing.”

Donations are being sought to cover immediate needs and recovery costs. According to the fundraiser, funds will go toward “replacing basic necessities,” “temporary housing and living expenses,” and “rebuilding their lives after this devastating loss.”

The GoFundMe campaign has raised roughly $70,000 so far.

The incident is being investigated.
