On June 26, the campaign of Congressman Lee Zeldin, the Republican Party and Conservative Party designee for Governor who would become the first Jewish Republican Governor of New York, shared with the media one of his campaign signs that were vandalized with antisemetic death threats. The sign was located in Huntington, NY, on Long Island.
“In the United States, we settle our scores at the ballot box, and this type of raw hate must never have any home on Long Island or anywhere else in our state and country,” said Zeldin for New York spokesperson Katie Vincentz. “Congressman Zeldin is thankful for the Suffolk County Police Department as they work to identify the perpetrators. Congressman Zeldin is more focused now than ever on Saving Our State.”
A swastika was spray painted next to the numbers 187, which, as the California penal code for murder, has been universally adopted as a common death threat.
