The Lubbock County Democratic Party headquarters was vandalized over the weekend with spray painted symbols associated with white supremacy and Neo-Nazism spread across the building.
The Democratic Party shared images of the vandalism via social media Monday morning with the phrase we will not be bowed.
The spray paint on the building included the numbers 14 and 88, which according to the Anti-Defamation League, are two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The Celtic Cross, another symbol of white supremacy, was also sprayed numerous times along with the phrase support your pres (president).
Responses to the vandalism poured in.
