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 McCrory, described the firebombing as an “attack on our democracy.”
