Tucson- The Pima County Republican headquarters was vandalized following the protests in Washington D.C. on Wednesday that resulted in the death of one and left injured.
Party officials say there are no immediate details of who is responsible or the motivation behind the vandalism. Tucson Police have been notified and are investigating the incident.
“In Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, Americans arrived in peaceful protest for their voices to be heard and their ballots to be counted, said Pima County Republican Party Chairman Shelley Kais. “Many people believe their freedom is at risk and they are shackled in the land of liberty. The disappointment and anger of failed leadership and destroyed trust from years of bickering and partisanship ploys bubbled up in a blinded rage which led to violence in our Capital. Last night the lawlessness arrived in Tucson as thugs vandalized the Pima County GOP Headquarters. The people of Tucson will not stand for violence and lawlessness.”
“We offer condolences to the family of Ashli Babbitt and those injured in the hallowed halls of our Republic. And today we ask prayers for our country, wisdom for our leaders, peace in our communities, and justice for our citizens,” concluded Kais.
