Clark County Republican headquarters vandalized; Kent ties incident to antifa
Dec. 15—The Clark County Republican Party's Vancouver headquarters was vandalized earlier this week, with the party and Third District Congressional candidate Joe Kent pointing the finger at left-leaning groups.
According to Matthew Bumala, chairman of the Clark County Republicans, the graffiti was discovered the morning of Monday, Dec. 11, though the incident likely occurred over the previous weekend.
The windows of the building were spray painted with phrases including "Antifa is sexy" and "F*** Trump," while posters that encouraged "free Gaza" and to "save the children of Palestine" were taped to the front door.
In a fundraising email Friday afternoon, Kent blamed the incident on antifa, a decentralized left-leaning group scattered across the country. In the accompanying video, which Kent attached to the email, Kent referred to the posters as "Hamas propaganda."
"Showing the coalition between those who support Hamas, as they kill women and children in Israel, and hold citizens hostage, and Antifa, who burned down Portland, Seattle, and multiple citizens in the country in 2020," Kent said.
