LANSING, MI - The Michigan Republican Party's Garfield Township office near Traverse City was temporarily shut down Wednesday after a man allegedly made a statement about bombing it.

According to the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office, police were called to the office at 3:15 p.m. for a report of a man who entered the office holding a sign that said "Trump is Satan."

"The subject was angry and on his way out the door made a statement 'Someone should bomb this place' or 'I should bomb this place,'" the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook statement.

When deputies arrived, the subject had already left. Sheriff's officers checked the office and surrounding area and continue to investigate the incident.

Michigan Republican Party Chief of Staff Colleen Pero sent out statement after the incident, referencing an earlier incident in which graffiti appeared on the party's Lansing office.

"This is the second time in the past week that an MRP office has been threatened or vandalized. Democrats are waking up to the fact that their dreams of a blue wave are quickly evaporating, and now extremist activists are responding with intimidation and threats of violence. We thank the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department for their quick response and all that they are doing to ensure the safety of our employees and volunteers," Pero said.

State Rep. Michele Hoitenga, R-Manton, said on Facebook she and several volunteers stopped by the office and were subjected to negative comments by a passerby. As they were leaving the parking lot, the individual entered the office and the incident took place, she said.

"I find it disturbing that this is becoming the norm," she wrote on Facebook.

And the possible threat isn't the only incident police have addressed in the lead-up to the Nov. 6 election. In Detroit, two canvassers for Good Jobs Now, an advocacy organization encouraging people to vote, were shot earlier this week. One died and the other was hospitalized.
