LINCOLN- The Lancaster County Republican Party hosted Conservative Speaker Charlie Kirk at an east Lincoln reception hall. Graffiti was found on a pillar outside the building after Kirk had spoken, a party official said. The business owner filed a police report alleging about $150 damage was done with black spray paint on a brick pillar. The message cursed at “Nazis.”

Lancaster County GOP Chairman Samuel Lyon said his organization believes “in peaceful protest and that open dialogue is a critical component of a healthy Republic.” But he criticized the vandalism as a clear “violation of the law.” No arrests have been made, but video surveillance has been obtained and released.

Members of the Lancaster County GOP led the push to wrest the Nebraska Republican Party from the former leadership team tied to then-Gov. Pete Ricketts. This was one of the first dinners and speakers the group has had since the change of leadership. The speaker brought out multiple protestors, which has been the case at previous Kirk events.
