Pima County GOP headquarters vandalized following Capitol riots

PHOENIX — The Pima County Republican Party headquarters in Tucson was vandalized overnight following the election riots on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the group announced Thursday.

A photo posted to the group’s Facebook page showed shattered glass and a hole in the glass front door of the building.

“The disappointment and anger of failed leadership and destroyed trust from years of bickering and partisanship ploys bubbled up in a blinded rage which led to violence in our Capitol,” Pima County Republican Party Chairman Shelley Kais said in the post.

“Last night the lawlessness arrived in Tucson as thugs vandalized the Pima County GOP Headquarters. The people of Tucson will not stand for violence and lawlessness.”

Officials said nobody was inside the building at the time.

Tucson police said it appears a rock was thrown through a glass door, leaving a hole but not large enough for anyone to enter.

Police said they don’t have any immediate suspects.

The incident comes after hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday, attempting to disrupt the ceremonial counting of the electoral vote and forcing lawmakers into hiding.

Meanwhile, supporters of Trump in Arizona gathered at the State Capitol on the same day to hold their own protest of the election results, calling for more transparency.
