NC Republican Office Firebombed, 'Nazi' GOPers Threatened in Graffiti

A Republican party office in North Carolina was firebombed overnight and a nearby building was scrawled with graffiti warning "Nazi Republicans" to "leave town or else," authorities said Sunday.

In a statement, authorities in Hillsborough, northwest of Durham, said that no one was injured in the apparent attack on the Orange County Republican Party headquarters.

A bottle containing a flammable substance was thrown through a front window, where it ignited and damaged furniture and the office's interior, the statement said, adding that the fire went out on its own.

The graffiti, which included a swastika, was painted on an adjacent building, the statement said.
A nearby business owner discovered the damage at 9 a.m. Sunday.

"This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property," said Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens, according to the statement. "It willfully threatens our [community's] safety via fire, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation. I believe I speak for the overwhelming majority of people who make Hillsborough their home: Acts like this have no place in our community."

Both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were assisting local and state authorities in their investigation of the bombing, Stevens said in a joint statement with Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton.

North Carolina Republican Party spokeswoman Emily Weeks told NBC News that the office is totally unusable and that materials inside, possibly including completed absentee ballots, may have been destroyed.

She said the office had received no threats prior to the bombing.

The only hater I see here, is the asshole who decided to torch the place and use the Nazi symbol.
Then the Dems will say --"see, I told you Republicans were racist". sigh.

No, the only racist hater here is the one on the run from LEO for vandalizing the building.



Hopefully with the ATF & FBI involved, they will catch the guy(s) that did it.
Sure politics get heated, but there is no excuse in burning shit down over it. Even if it happens to be your opposing side.


Damn, and they think it destroyed some absentee ballots that had already been filled out.



Great way to cheat the election Dems.
Numerous voter fraud incidences being reported.
And now this destructive arson act.

Desperation at it's finest.

Now you see why I left NC - them folks are crazy as bedbugs, and dumb as a box of rocks. Can't even do a proper firebombing, and used accelerants that would put themselves out. I don't think the local Republicans have much to fear from folks prone to such Mutt and Jeff antics. Somewhere in NC right now, there is an apple wired to a car battery while some brave but dumbassed soul gnaws a lump of C4 for his supper.

Was this their retaliation for finding the ballots for Hillary that had already been filled out, even before the election had occurred there?

There is a thread here somewhere about that, but I don't have time to look for it to link it here.

Pence: North Carolina GOP office firebombing is 'political terrorism'

Hillsborough, North Carolina (CNN)


Mike Pence on Tuesday afternoon visited the North Carolina Republican office that was firebombed and vandalized over the weekend, an act that he declared "political terrorism."

"I wanted to come by to call attention to this cowardly attack on our supporters in North Carolina and to no less extent and attack on the American political system," the GOP vice presidential candidate told reporters. "This was an act of political terrorism and I have to tell you how inspired I am to see the way this community has come together and people have come together to continue to move forward undeterred, unintimidated by this senseless act of violence and we are truly inspired."

Pence is correct in calling it "Political terrorism".

I know this story sure hasn't caught the attention of MSM very much.



 Guess because it was a Republican office.
Had that been one of Hillary's DNC offices, oh heck, Lester Holt and the rest of them would be running it 24/7, blaming the Donald and his basket of deplorables and irredeemables.





Just glad no one was in there at the time when the asshole(s) decided to torch it.
Hope they catch whoever did it!!!
