On Monday morning (Dec. 11), it was discovered that the Clark County Republican Party (CCRP) headquarters office was vandalized. The unprovoked attack appears to have been performed by a group that is calling themselves “Queer Liberation 161,” according to a statement provided by the CCRP.
Obscene graffiti was sprayed on the office building and the vandals glued propaganda fliers about Palestine across the windows, leaving a big mess for volunteers to come and clean up. Neighboring tenants said they had seen the vandalism the day prior, revealing that it had to have happened early Sunday morning or late Saturday night.
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,’’ read the CCRP statement, distributed by Chairman Matt Bumala Tuesday. “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,’’ the statement continued. “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 statement added. “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.’’
