Seven Hasidic institutions in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn recently reported fires, at the same time as threatening graffiti was written on a nearby reform synagogue.

The suspect for all eight crimes is James Polite,

who was previously profiled in a NYTimes piece:

Interestingly enough, since Trump's election, none of the hate crimes against Jews in New York (of which there were 142 in 2018 alone) has been associated with a right-wing group:

Also interestingly, 7 of the 8 targets were associated with a subset of Jews (Hasidim) who tend to be very favorably disposed toward Trump:

Doesn't shock me, given what I saw in 2016. And Democrats were once the party of the Dixiecrats. We also got conservatives in the party. Though I'd paint this more as "left vs. right" violence than ethnic cleansing or something. It's just getting worse and worse...

Got someone more reputable than the NY Daily News, and any evidence to actually back up that some intern is the vandal/wannabe arsonist?

A black, LGBTQ Democratic activist did this? Does Trump's dark influence know no bounds?
From what I've heard, he's not convicted of a crime yet, but he's said a lot of anti-semitic things online. Sad thing is, the guy had a lot of people pulling for him, trying to give him a hand up because he's LGBTQ (which one(s) I don't know, but probably not L). This could have been an example of kindness helping out.

I don't blame Donald Trump for the rise of Nazism.
The Nazis were there all along.
I live in the Deep South and they were always there.
I have plenty of other reasons to hate Donald Trump.

How is he trolling? He's 100% accurate. There have been Nazis in the US since they kicked things off over in Germany. We had a number of big names (Ford and Lindbergh to name a couple) here who were big fans of them, so it shouldn't be all that surprising that there were others. Hell, they actually had an official party. It only became taboo when Germany Declared war on us following Pearl Harbor, and they basically just kept their heads down for a while.
