Frank Morano, a radio talk show host and City Council candidate on Staten Island, faced vandalism on his campaign sign with the inscription 'NAZI SCUM.' This incident occurred following a rally supporting law enforcement and reflects a disturbing trend where Republicans are targeted with hate speech. Morano expressed that this defamation is particularly hurtful given his party's efforts against Nazism. Fellow Republican Michael Tannousis noted the significance of the vandalism, especially as the discoverer is a Jewish Army veteran, indicating a deeper level of offense within the community.
Any sort of vandalism, any sort of graffiti, is just horrible, but when it's this kind of hate speech, it goes beyond the pale.
Having someone label me a Nazi because I'm a Republican is insulting and hurtful, and I believe the GOP is leading the way in fighting against Nazism and fascism.
We will not accept this on Staten Island.
The individual who discovered the latest vandalism is Jewish and a U.S. Army veteran, making the incident even more troubling.
