Wisconsin House candidate arrested after hate-filled rant at Israeli dad with anti-Hamas bumper sticker
NY Post ^ | 10/08/26 | Reuven Fenton

A Wisconsin congressional candidate has been arrested on hate crime charges after he went on a vulgar caught-on-camera rant against an Israeli dad with his young son in the car — after he was triggered by an anti-Hamas bumper sticker.

Matthew Arndt, 54, allegedly cut off the 41-year-old father on a road in the Milwaukee suburb of Mequon Thursday morning, flipping him the bird and cursing at him before pulling into a gas station, where the dad followed him and began filming the explosive encounter.

“Do you want to tell me something?” the father asked.

“Yeah, you’re a f------ piece of s---! You’re a f------ traitor!” Arndt erupted, pointing an accusatory finger at the stunned motorist.

“Why do you say this?” the dad asked.

Let’s not get all hung up on which political party he represents.

“ Where does the left find these psycho candidates?”
********************************************

I find them ALL like that to a degree… they’re on a spectrum of varied intensity. They vary from the mild “hate people who watch Fox News” to the more “out there” such as this character,

He’s an American man, not even 60 years old, yet already so full of in your face hate for anything Jewish. He must have learned this at home, unless he’s a Military Vet who has suffered some kind of brain damage.

All this? Over a Bumper Sticker?

What did he get arrested for? I mean I hate what he’s saying but how is this any different than arresting and convicting the woman that called a black person a N-word and being arrested for it? Keep in mind the black dude was charged for pedo crimes and was as the playground with a camera filming kids.

But either way...it’s just words. He could have walked/drove away. He followed him to the gas station and asked for his opinion.

I’m shocked he wasn’t in his SS uniform.

There is some video on the NY Post link provided.

My little car won't need any gas for a week or so,
but when it does and if I remember (I'm 82) maybe
I'll gas it up there.

The Democrats are the Crazy Party. They are the latest example of something the ancient Greek playwright Euripides said:

“Whom the gods destroy they first make mad.”

Funded by your taxpayer dollar.

What am I referring to? UNRWA and UN, Hamas, unfettered immigration, promotion of Islam, constant attacks of Christian’s groups, terrorism support, use of US government asserts for those policies. Those were the hallmark platforms of Democrats, Obama , and Biden.

Want to sit at home in November and not go out and vote, then plan on these people multiplying to a doorstep near you.
