Indiana Governor Mike Pence stopped by the Orange County (NC) Republican headquarters on Tuesday to survey the damage caused by Sunday’s firebombing.

The Republican vice presidential nominee stated that though the attack was “an act of political terrorism,” it has not received extensive media coverage because the media loves to hate Republicans.

“I’m here to call attention to an act of political terrorism on the Orange County Republican headquarters in North Carolina,” Pence told a crowd of gathered reporters. “This has gotten very little national media attention, and I can’t help but feel that had this been the other way around — had it been an attack in this county on the other political party’s county headquarters — that the level of coverage and discussion would be significantly different.”

“I think most of the american people know that.”

“I believe in local participation,” he continued. “There’s no question, whether it be in the state of Indiana or in states around the country, that in recent years we’ve had instances, proven instances, of voter fraud.”

“That’s why Donald Trump, and I are encouraging our supporters around the country — and frankly every American, whatever their politics — to take the opportunity to be involved in a respectful way in providing accountability at our polling places,” Pence added. “The american people can ensure the integrity of this election and i’m confident we’ll do that.”
