The Kent County GOP headquarters was vandalized with spray-painted swastikas and white-supremacy graffiti.
The vandalism was reported Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Gerald R. Ford Republican Headquarters at 725 Lake Michigan Drive NW. Graffiti covered all sour sides of the building.
It happened two months after a similar graffiti was spray-painted on Kent County Democratic Party headquarters at 301 Fuller Ave. NE.
The Kent County Dems HQ was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti earlier today.
