Well, thereâs a hearty Fuck You to the scum arsonists that did this.
âŚand I hope they catch the Trump staffer that set it, too.
So, can the GOP party operative who most likely actually committed the crime use the funds for his legal defense?
Low-bid contract?
And that, in a nutshell, is the difference between the GOP and Democratâs, helping the GOP pay for a fire of GOP ignitionâŚ
Donât PaY your Loser CoNtracter trump! StRuctute is stiLL standing. No waY you are satisfied wiTH the JoB.
Trump has already pledged to pay for this from the Trump Foundation also.
I like it a lot. The message is âwe support free political expression and condemn violence.â What people have done or will do with that expression isnât the point. They have the freedom period. Also I think simple decency is a political stance these days. Itâs certainly where Iâd prefer to be.
@tressiemcphd
I am a black North Carolinian native deeply invested in the stateâs welfare as my family is still there. I wonât be funding the NC GOP.
Thatâs the difference between you and I. Iâm and lesbian Latina immigrant progressive, and I happily support free and safe elections. Election violence is the antithesis of what we as a nation should stand forâno matter what an opponents party supports. Iâll happily donate to this. Even if someone associated with the Trump campaign was responsible, our effort to have the office reopen sends a powerful message that we as Democrats donât support violence.
Bleeding heart libs - always trying to help those in need.
Honestly, I can see HO characterizing this generous outpouring of money as an admission of guilt and an attempt to cover it up.
âWhy would they set up a fund to rebuild our campaign office if they didnât do it? You tell me, you tell me. A bunch of animals covering up for Crooked Hillary and now the media will take this and spin it as âoh look at how good the Democrats areâ - itâs rigged, believe me!â
There is no low too low for him to goâŚ
I blame non-nazi republicans. Democrats want all republicans to leave town.
Also interesting that an NC Republican recommends all GOP offices close by sundownâŚhummm that seems like it would make it easier for someone to do this to other offices that didnât really want to hurt people, just make democrats look badâŚhummmmm
Itâs not about Trump, itâs about what we should stand against as Americans. Election based violence should be right there at the top.
For me, this is like the exclusionary rule in criminal trials. Itâs better that even a bunch of disgusting bigoted economic warriors should get help rebuilding their offices than that we countenance arson as part of the political process.
I agree. Could have easily been someone on the right, that wanted to impugn the DNC and its candidates.
The question is, when it turns out to be an R do they get the money back? Will the state of NC GOP head apologize and retract his accusation? Will HOTOG apologize for calling the Dems âanimalsâ?
Iâm not waiting.
An echo of sundown laws? Really, theyâre going there?
Yea really the word sundown, I was thinking the same thing. I pointed it out in a twitter reply.
Like I said elsewhere, I used to live in Hillsborough about a little over year agoâŚ
The Nuts in that âblink and you miss itâ town are into dog fighting (Hillsborough is often referred to as the âDogfighting capital of the South Eastâ) and meth, not exactly âcore democratic votersâ. Iâm still not convinced that any âDemsâ did it, but itâs good to see weâll be the adults and make it right.
Good point!
