NYGOP Albany Headquarters Vandalized
Last week, the NYGOP's Albany headquarters was defaced by a radical leftist who plastered swastikas on the doors and windows. The vandalism was widespread, marking the front of the building, including the windows and doors. Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, NYGOP Chairman Ed Cox, and leading Republican figures all issued statements strongly condemning this alarming act.
Chair of House GOP Leadership Elise Stefanik stated:
"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 released the following stated:
"The New York Republican Party’s Albany headquarters was the target of a vile act of political hatred overnight. A vandal duct taped swastikas to our doors and windows - symbols of genocidal evil, meant to intimidate and silence. This is not only an attack on our party, it is also an attack on the values of civil discourse, democracy and decency.
New York’s Democratic leaders, namely Governor Hochul, Attorney General James, and Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, must speak out clearly and unequivocally regarding the rising danger of left wing violence."
Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt stated:
"The cowards who defaced Republican Party Headquarters with swastikas aren't just hateful - they're historically illiterate. Vandalizing the State Republican Party’s property with disgusting Nazi symbols while screaming about 'fascism' reveals these individuals are hypocrites, idiots, or both.
This kind of disgusting, hate-fueled intimidation won't silence us. It will only harden our resolve. We will keep fighting to make New York safer, freer, and more affordable - and we won't back down for anyone."
Assembly Republican Leader Will Barclay stated:
"This is simply more of the same deranged behavior we saw throughout the Presidential campaign last fall. Democrats spent months and millions calling Donald Trump ‘Hitler’ and predicting the end of America. Their strategy failed miserably at the ballot box, but unfortunately managed to inspire this kind of inexcusable behavior. I look forward to the perpetrator being apprehended and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
