Neo-Nazi Robocalls Target Andrew Gillum In Florida Governor Race
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Florida voters started receiving ugly robocalls Friday targeting Democrat Andrew Gillum, the African-American candidate for governor, that are linked to a neo-Nazi website in Idaho, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
The same white supremacy site has been linked to robocalls in Iowa about the death of college student Mollie Tibbetts, who was allegedly killed by an immigrant, the Des Moines Register reported Wednesday.
The group is also believed to be responsible for similar racist, anti-immigrant or anti-Semitic phone calls in California and Oregon, and in Charlottesville, Virginia, after the deadly attack there last year during a white nationalist march.
The neo-Nazi robocalls about Tibbetts echo Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric about her death. Trump, who offered no condolences to Tibbetts’ family, instead railed this month that her accused killer was believed to be an undocumented immigrant.
Tibbetts’ family has complained about Trump turning the tragedy into a political issue .

A former Ku Klux Klan leader – or 'grand wizard' – has suggested fascists had helped Donald Trump win the US presidential election. David Duke, who once led the neo-Nazi, white-supermacist organisation, tweeted the claim on election night. “This is one of the most exciting nights of my life,” Mr Duke wrote. “Make no mistake about it, our people have played a huge role in elect ing Trump!”
Since the nomination of Donald Trump hate crimes have increased greatly!
I just posted this in the other Gillum-related thread, but it seems that Trump supporters across the country need to get together with GOP leaders and decide just how loud of a racist dog whistle they want to use. Some of them are getting just a little too obvious.....
Wow.
Sometimes I think they don't realize that other people can hear what they're saying.....
