Clinton and Trump had 2 very different reactions to the firebombing in North Carolina

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump issued two contrasting responses to the vandalizing and apparent firebombing of a Republican Party headquarters in North Carolina on Sunday.

A graffiti message reading "Nazi Republicans leave town or else" was left on the building, and the blaze inflicted extensive damage to the office, according to a statement from Hillsborough police. No one was hurt in the incident, and police are now investigating.

Clinton condemned the incident on Twitter Sunday evening.

"The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable," she said. "Very grateful that everyone is safe."

Meanwhile, Trump was quick to assign responsibility for the incident to Clinton supporters, despite a lack of evidence from authorities.

"Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning," Trump tweeted.

Hillsborough police have not identified any suspects, and only said Sunday evening that its investigation is still ongoing.

North Carolina is a key battleground state this election, and Clinton is holding a 3-point lead there, according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent polls. Barack Obama narrowly won North Carolina in 2008, while Mitt Romney took the state in 2012.

Just as the left has an aversion to calling attacks here by Muslims, as “Islamic Terrorism”, the leftist MSM has an aversion to calling attacks on Republicans for what they are. These attacks were committed by Democrat Hillary supporters, pure and simple. Trump got it right. Perhaps we need to coin a phrase for these Democrat terrorists, maybe call them “Hillary Terrorists” or “Hillary’s Clingers”. The blame needs to be put squarely on her.

This is the literal dictionary definition of domestic terrorism.

CNN sides with the terrorists. As usual.

More Trump psyops. He knows media will spread his response more than the story alone.

We need go to her rallys and throw at der Beast wafers of Sacramental bread and hold up crucifixes to show our desire to repel her from the land and turn her into dark vapor.

Hmmn, you may be onto something. Throw some holy water and see her burn. Maybe our side needs to appear at her rallies with water balloons filled with tar and feathers to toss, a not so subtle message.

This is a foundation of the Democrat Party. When you cannot silence the opposition, then they must be destroyed. We have seen this time and time again. Whether it’s the Earth Liberation Front burning up car dealerships, or otger ftinge lunatic liberal grouos blowing up research buildings on college campuses. Its all the same

I think it’s rather funny that the police and Hillary raise their eyebrows and say they don’t know who could have done this. Hillary may actually know, but she has a good idea if not. It was her people

The police can’t tip their hand of course. They have to maintain objectivity.

We all know who did it.

They Left their calling card. They’re little Nazis and racists. They trash Trump’s by leaving a swastika. Who does that but Nazis?

Did she have any black paint on her hands?

The word horrific should be banned.
As well as:

Racism
Bullying
Code word
Micro aggresion

All of these need to go. They are meaningless.

And Drudge’s use of the word “Hellstorm”.

All are lazy English.

Doesn’t seem likely. Hillary supporters never show up at her rallies, so there are no cars to vandalize. And we can’t steal Hillary yard signs because there are so few of them out there.
