The Republican party headquarters in North Carolina was firebombed and an adjacent building was vandalized with the words: 'Nazi Republicans leave town or else.'
One state GOP official called the attack on the building in Hillsborough, Orange County an act of 'political terrorism', the Charlotte Observer reported.
A bottle, filled with flammable substance, was thrown into a window overnight, setting off a fire that scorched the interior of the building before the blaze burned itself out, police said.
Executive director of the state's Republican Party Dallas Woodhouse said the building was 'a total loss' and photos from the interior showed damaged yard signs bearing the names of Donald Trump and Mike Pence, along with other politicians.
With three weeks left until election day, Mayor Tom Stevens acknowledged the significance of the attack, saying: 'This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property.
'It willfully threatens our community’s safety, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation.'
