Republican HQ in North Carolina Firebombed in "Attack on Our Democracy"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Carolina, authorities are investigating the firebombing of the
Republican headquarters in the town of Hillsborough. Police said
somebody threw a Molotov cocktail into the building, setting off a fire.
In addition, somebody spray-painted a swastika on an adjacent building
with the message, "Nazi Republicans leave town or else." The firebombing
was denounced by leaders of both political parties in North Carolina.
The state's governor, Pat Mc Crory, described the firebombing as an
"attack on our democracy."
