NY GOP headquarters in Albany vandalized with swastikas

The New York State GOP headquarters in Albany was vandalized with swastika signs placed on doors and windows.

Albany Police confirmed that they responded to the scene around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday. The investigation is ongoing. 

Republican U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, who is GOP House chair, released a statement:

“New Yorkers haven’t forgotten that New York Democrats viciously compared last year’s successful Trump Madison Square Garden Rally to Nazis and called President Trump “Hitler.” Americans rejected this dangerous rhetoric and overwhelming elected President Trump at the ballot box. And now less than a year later, the New York GOP Albany State headquarters was criminally vandalized with Nazi symbols. We must ensure this vicious criminal who perpetrated this heinous crime be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

NYGOP Chair Ed Cox also released a statement:

“This is not only an attack on our party, it is also an attack on the values of civil discourse, democracy and decency,” he said.
