(9,466 posts)Bob Kroll sat down with a local Jewish activist. It didn't go well.
To see Bob Kroll stumping for President Trump on Fox News, and at the rally, and the union selling shirts promoting the message police in Minneapolis are for Donald Trumpthat sent a chill down my spine," Stern says.
Trump's rhetoric, policies, and presidency in general are a threat to religious and ethnic minorities, Stern says, a catalyst for white nationalist activism, even violence. Domestic terrorists had shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh and another in California, and Stern sees a "direct and frankly unavoidable link" between Trump's election and a rise in hate crimes. (He's not alone.)

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.
Yet here they are marching to "take back America".
When did the Nazis have America?
" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."
He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "
