The Democratic and Republican presidential candidates had strikingly different responses to a Saturday night firebombing at local Republican Party office in North Carolina.
Hours after authorities announced that a bottle filled with flammable liquid destroyed the Orange County GOP’s headquarters, Hillary Clinton sent a tweet calling the incident “horrific and unacceptable.” The former secretary of state expressed relief that no one was injured in the overnight attack.
The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful that everyone is safe.

Donald Trump’s answer came later, and struck a different tone. Though the perpetrators have not yet been identified, the real estate mogul blamed “animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems” who he said burned the office “because we are winning.”
Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP

Graffiti reading “Nazi Republicans leave town or else” was scrawled on the building’s exterior.
Clinton is currently leading Trump 46.2 to 42.8 percent in the Tar Heel State, according to TPM’s PollTracker Average.

Nobody knows whodunit at this point. It is often useful to identify the enemy before going on attack.
Oh, FFS! Please make him go away. I can’t take anymore of his bullshit and lies.
This is a picture of me not believing it. Anyone who cares enough about this election would know how bad this makes the Dem side look. At least that’s what I’m seriously hoping
Re pubs claim false flag operations on everything, so (again, I hope) this is one of their true believers who thought he’d pull some deep cover false flag of his own. Kind of like Ashley Todd.
Please let it be that.
EDIT: Should have read Josh’s original post.

So what’s the odds on a redneck Reichstag?
