Angry 'Trump supporter' calls police, reports black Brooklyn state Sen. Jesse Hamilto

Source: New York Daily News

An angry white woman who identified herself as a Trump supporter called police Thursday morning to report a black state senator who was merely talking with voters outside a Brooklyn subway station.

State Sen. Jesse Hamilton was speaking with constituents at the Parkside Ave. subway entrance in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens when the woman, who spoke with an Eastern European accent, accused Hamilton of being too strong in his support for immigrants, his office said.

“I support Trump, and I see the difference between Democrat and Republican — and I see the difference between you and Trump,” the woman told Hamilton staffer Raul Rothblatt in heavily accented English.

The exchange was captured on camera, and Hamilton shared the video on social media.

Like all trumsters. Odd that she has heavily accented English. Of course being white protects her.

A pattern perhaps?

And an immigrant not supporting the most American of values. The 1st amendment?

without the interruptive questions; which she didn't seem to hear or understand.
Raul Rothblatt should have allowed her to hang herself.

I'm willing to bet that she wasn't born here. Let's see your papers lady?

Maybe we should put on a MAGA hat and scream "Go back to your own country!" at her.

Wow, what an incredible sense of entitlement.
She "sees" the difference between Trump and Sen. Jesse Hamilton, huh?
Seeing that difference made her feel entitled to call the police on an elected official.
I am glad that the police were not sent. The 911 operator made a wise choice here.

Those convicted of civic stupidity and/or misuse of 911 could get 6-month sentences to night/weekend classes.

Also offer them for free for those good citizens just wanting a refresher.

In many municipalities if you get a traffic ticket, they give you the option of traffic school to avoid penalties, so why not for disturbing the peace and open racism in public? And yes, when cops are called, it does disturb the peace!

bug-fuck crazy, right there.

I have this personal theory. There is a limit to how cold something can get to (absolute zero) but no limit on how hot something can get. The same thing with intelligence. I feel like there is a limit to how smart someone can be but no limit on how stupid they could be as well.

Virtually every branch of my lineage is Pre-Revolution. My Mom and sisters are DAR. My wife is DAR. Our ancestors helped found and fought for the damn thing. My people where here when Charlotte and Raleigh were dusty cross roads and the colonial capital was Bath and New Bern. My people were in Nashville when it was a log fort. And if we welcome all immigrants, regardless of race, religion, place of origin or any damn thing at all, a damn newbie trying the pull up the ladder behind her simply needs to shut the hell up. If anything, First Nations have the right to tell all of us to get the hell out!!

hmm yeah, well some people are just never going to change and basically are dredges of society. Why be polite and "try" to make them change. I saw a t-shirt that said I would rather be in Russia then vote for a democrat....you cant change someone like this. They will always be in their little cocoon and live the rest of their lives as a hate filled moron. I think the Democrats need to just walk away from these people and concentrate on their own party members, the left leaning independents, and the moderate republicans that are disgusted by these cretins who claim its GOD, country, family....the same fucking bullshit rhetoric that the right wing politician spew. Yeah right, GOD, country, family.... all the while they are caging children, having affairs, stealing, committing treason.....

time for Shumer, Pelosi, and the DNC to say FUCK THESE PEOPLE
