ABINGTON, PA — The Keswick Theater was vandalized overnight Wednesday into Thursday, just before an event featuring conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren took place.
The words "Nazis Die" were scrawled in spray paint immediately outside of the building, authorities confirmed. A photo of the graffiti was posted online.
Lahren herself responded to the incident on her Twitter page, writing "Truth is the new hate speech. You don't intimidate me! See you tonight, Glenside."

"Well-known for her political commentary, Tomi brings her unique voice to the live stage in a series of topic-driven segments, social media dialogue and audience Q&A. With her finger on the political and pop-culture pulse, you won’t want to miss this unforgettable night filled with sharp insights, passionate perspective and of course, 'Final Thoughts.'"
