NYPD Hate Crimes Unit Investigating Vile Defacing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Poster in Brooklyn

A subway poster advertising a commemorative book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg was defaced with anti-Semitic and other slurs.

The NYPD's hate crimes unit is investigating slur-ridden "DIE" graffiti scrawled on a Brooklyn subway station poster of Ruth Bader Ginsburg after a rider flagged it on Twitter Tuesday.

"What is going to be done about this?" the rider captioned in her tweet, tagging the mayor's office, the MTA and NYPD among other accounts. She said it was spotted at the Nassau Avenue G train stop.

"DIE" in all capital letters is scrawled in black marker across Ginsburg's forehead on the poster; "JEW" was written over her glasses, followed by another slur and a swastika over her mouth.

In a statement on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo denounced the graffiti.

"We will not stand by and allow hateful and discriminatory vandalism in New York," he said. "I have directed the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to provide the NYPD with any resources needed to assist in the investigation."

No I don't think so.

But they did hear a woman's voice down the street yelling, "Impeach the mother-f*cker".

Trying to find a Trump supporter in Manhattan is like trying to find one in Chicago.

And who hates the Jews nowadays? Hmmmmm????

"I seem to recall at least one incident where Donald Trump's star in Hollywood was smashed to smithereens."

It was defaced in some form or another at least twice, and I don't remember the expression "hate crime" ever being used, although I could be wrong. I also seem to remember that some homeless person, or older person, who objected to the defacing was surrounded and attacked.

Someone smears a subway poster in New York City ...the most Jewish city in the world...with anti semitism

And the entire media takes notice and then the governor himself has to weigh in

Over defacing one subway poster?

This is nutz or more likely a scratch in search of an itch

She’s done more then enough damage to the country and our judicial system. It’s long last time for her to retire ( while she’s still ostensibly “alive?!”)

Very dubious. Of all the things RBG is disliked by so many for, being Jewish is not even on the map.

How could any defacing possibly make her look worse than she actually is?
