Minnesota Democratic Headquarters Vandalized

Someone defaced the DFL headquarters sign in Saint Paul overnight Monday, writing "FOR TRUMP" in red spray paint.

Minnesota Democrats woke up Monday morning to find a new addition to the DFL headquarters in Saint Paul. Overnight, someone defaced their sign, writing "FOR TRUMP" on it in red spray paint.

"This is what we do now in Minnesota? Unbelievable, but not surprising, that Trump supporters would resort to vandalism," DFL Chairman Ken Martin wrote in a statement.

"It is a disturbing pattern happening all over this state of Trump supporters harassing & intimidating Clinton supporters and destroying people's property. It may make someone feel good to engage in this behavior but trust me that childish acts like this only motivate us more for this final push. So while Republicans are engaged in acts of violence, vandalism, and intimidation hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans are out on the doors having conversations with voters about issues that impact their lives and the dreams and hopes they have for the future."
