It happened around 1:30 a.m. at the location on East 83rd Street on Upper East Side, where windows were broken, doors were spray-painted and glue was put in the locks and on the handles. A threatening message was also left at the scene, telling Republicans the "attack is merely beginning."
"Tonight, we put the Republican Party on notice, in defiance to the policy of mass misery they championed," the note read. "The US government has established concentration camps around the country for Latino people, shamelessly murder black people, and continues its war machine that has slaughtered Muslim people with impunity for decades."
New York Republican Chairman Ed Cox held a press conference Friday with Manhattan GOP Chairwoman A.J. Catsimatidis and others to condemn the crimes and call on Democrats to cease inciting these attacks and urge civility.
"You will see this is an act of political violence done by cowards in the middle of the night," Cox said. "And all Democratic officials, whether elected or otherwise, (need) to condemn this act of violence."
Here's yer mob. Apparently

(420 posts)Typical Repug move- something out of the Rove playbook. Shows what victims they are and gets the sheeples to focus on the big, bad Dems.
And the media, not just FAUX, will make this a bigger deal than the voter suppression all over the country.
I was actually getting optimistic about the blue wave but the Thugs have effectively shifted the narrative and now our enthusiasm has become mob anger. Im just sick!!

(19,204 posts)A very timely "attack" that just happens to coincide with tRump's incitement to violence of right-wing loonies during his "rallies".
For now, I'm not buying what they're selling.
