Racists just can’t stop being racist. Trump empowers them and they do his bidding.

Why?

Rochester? You have to be kidding. Locals are not violent and are law abiding. Just a copy cat vandalism. The more MSM repeats this crap the more the copycats will act. Grow up MSM and stop reporting mob vandalism.

Trump's influence on the US will take a generation to undo.
