San Francisco police are investigating after a Trump supporter’s car was vandalized with racist graffiti while parked in the city’s Portola District last weekend.
The owner parked the white Toyota Prius with a Trump bumper sticker along the roadside, and found the vehicle on Sunday with the tires slashed, and the words “NAZI” and “KKK” spray painted on the windows, CBS San Francisco reports.
The owner filed a police report about the incident, the latest in an apparent trend of anti-Trump hooligans targeting their political foes.
The San Francisco episode followed similar hate aimed at an Arizona store specializing in Trump memorabilia the week prior.
Owners of the Trumped Store in Show Low were greeted with the messages “Fraud,” “All about $,” and “Resist the 1%” when they came to work Aug. 17, The Republic reports.
“We woke up to the new ‘artwork’ on the Trumped Store banner and on the building walls this morning!!!” the owners posted to Facebook. “Amazingly the police had already been here along with a Good Samaritan who was already cleaning the walls and the banner!”
“Let’s stand for what is right and good I the country and protect our president and his family from these anarchists!!!” the owners wrote. “MAGA!!!”
The attack on the Trumped Store came the same day haters targeted the New Hampshire Republican Party headquarters in Concord with a white spray-painted heart with the word “NAZIS” inside, WMUR reports.
The day before that, leftist thugs targeted U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson’s family home in Northern Virginia.
“We were out of town and our house was toilet papered,” Carson told NBC Washington. “They had painted ‘F Trump’ on it as well.”
A Carson spokesperson told the site the 2016 presidential candidate did not report the hate crime to police, because he believes in ignoring hate and “taking the high road.”
Carson said his neighbors cleaned up most of the mess before he returned home.
“That’s really the message that I try to get tout to people,” he said. “You can’t necessarily control the animosity and the hatred of someone else, but you can control how you react.”
Also this month, an elderly couple in Las Vegas, Nevada also woke up to racist graffiti spray-painted on their vehicle.
The couple, Birdie and Jimmy Sinyard, said they were “shocked” to find “KKK” and “f*** you b****” scrawled on the side of their SUV.
“We don’t have nothing to do with the KKK,” Birdie told KTNV, adding that she’s not a Trump supporter but her husband is, though he rarely discusses politics.
The couple’s granddaughter Jewel told the news site neighbors of all races helped to scrub off the messages, but she thinks the suspects should personally apologize to her grandparents. The incident, she said, occurred just after the death of the Sinyards’ 25-year-old grandson.
“I would like an apology not for me but for my grandparents,” she said, “they didn’t deserve this.”
