As we told you earlier, the headquarters of the Orange County (NC) GOP was firebombed over the weekend, causing significant damage to the offices:

Donald Trump has since weighed in on the news, calling those responsible “animals” and tying the yet to be identified suspects to Hillary Clinton and Democrats:
Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP

The GOP nominee later said he was proud of everyone in North Carolina:
ALL SAFE IN ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. With you all the way, will never forget. Now we have to win. Proud of you all! @NCGOP
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
The official Twitter account of the North Carolina GOP responded, thanking Trump and saying they will “pray for those we seek to harm us”:
Thank you Mr. @realDonaldTrump. We will not be silenced nor suppressed by this evil act. We will pray for those who seek to harm us.

FWIW, Hillary Clinton also expressed her displeasure with the firebombing:
The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful that everyone is safe.
