Phrases including “Antifa is sexy” and “F*** Trump” were sprayed across the windows. People who conduct themselves in this manner have no desire for tolerance and discourse outside of their own ideals. They simply want chaos, destruction and violence against people and organizations that don’t agree with them. We saw this behavior leading up to the 2020 election and it appears groups like this are crossing the river from Portland into our backyard in an attempt to intimidate Republicans. While it is our wish for peace and civil discourse, it is not lost on us the reality that this type of activity from them will most likely become more frequent as we get closer to election season next year.
Regardless, the Clark County Republican Party will continue to do good work and fight for the causes, values and candidates that we support – peacefully.
The ballot boxes will be waiting for the citizens of the county, state and country to determine what kind of society we want to live in.
