Democratic officials in North Carolina have asked law enforcement to step up protection of campaign workers after Orange County offices for both the Republican and Democratic parties were targeted on the same day.
On Sunday, the Republican Party said that its Orange County headquarters was set ablaze by vandals. Graffiti found on a nearby building said, “Nazi Republicans leave town or else.”
In a message posted to Twitter, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump blamed the attack on “[a]nimals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina.”
But Orange County Democratic Party Chair Matt Hughes told Raw Story on Monday that vandals had also targeted his offices in Carrboro. Both attacks were said to have occurred early Sunda

NC Democratic headquarters attacked on same night nearby GOP office was firebombed
The media didn't give much attention to this at all, with all the drama focusing on the RNC office. It would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of the spray-painted graffiti for similarities.

I thought it was weird that the vandals accused the RNC of being nazis, yet spray painted a swastika.
Personally, i would only spray paint a swastika if I was PRO Nazi.. seems counter productive.
But what do I know?

Paint at the DNC office is probably still fresh.
Sounds like a pretty lame case of the "me toos".

Agreed. We saw pictures of the bombed out Republican headquarters, now this article only shows a stock image of police tape. Where are all the photos which should be all over social media? Does no one live around this building, work there, or work next door to there or on the same street?

The Orange County Democratic Party says someone spray-painted its headquarters in Carrboro on the same day someone set fire to the Republican headquarters in Hillsborough.
Democratic workers found the words "Death to Capitalism" sprayed on the local campaign office yesterday.
Orange County Democratic Party chairman Matt Hughes said he has no reason to believe that the two are connected at this time.
"It's just paint," Hughes said. "There's not a lot of physical damage, but I think that even though physically there wasn't a lot of damage, I think that it unsettles people."
