Thank you Mr. @realDonaldTrump. We will not be silenced nor suppressed by this evil act. We will pray for those who seek to harm us.

There was some spray painting on an adjacent building. It had a swastika spray painted on it and it also said, “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.”

The Hillsborough police provided some information on how the blaze started. They said someone threw a bottle containing flammable liquid through the window. It shattered the window and started a blaze involving campaign signs, furniture and more. There are no damage estimates available at this point.

Part of Governor McCrory’s statement included:

“The firebombing of a local political headquarters in Orange County is clearly an attack on our democracy. Violence has no place in our society – but especially in our elections. … I will use every resource as governor to assist local authorities in this investigation.”
