Police in Oklahoma are investigating after racist, anti-gay and anti-Semitic remarks were found spray-painted on a second Democratic Party office as well as a nearby school and arts center.

Norman police spokeswoman Sarah Jensen says the vandalism was discovered early Wednesday on the windows and sidewalk outside the Cleveland County Democratic Party headquarters, the Firehouse Art Center and McKinley Elementary School.

Similar epithets were spray-painted last week on the front door, walkway and other areas outside the state Democratic Party headquarters in Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma City office of the Chickasaw Nation.

Jensen says Norman and Oklahoma City police are working together.

Cleveland County Democratic chair Krystal Golding-Ross says the black-and-red graffiti found Wednesday in Norman is "atrocious” and "not in alignment with our values.”
