'Don't be a coward,' Wake man says of person who sent hate mail over his Trump signs

RALEIGH, N.C. — A Wake County man says he's the target of hate mail because of his support for President Donald Trump.

Joe Nodine received an unsigned letter Wednesday comparing the Trump sign in his yard to a swastika and likening him and other Trump supporters to members of the Ku Klux Klan.

Nodine, who also flies a Trump flag outside his front door, said he allowed the local Trump re-election campaign to put a large sign supporting the president in his front yard along Strickland Road.

"Our boys from Philly do not like or tolerate Klansmen who support an impeached, corrupt adulterer and treacherous conman responsible for the death of 150,000 Americans," the letter said in an apparent reference to the coronavirus pandemic. "On behalf of all North Raleigh residents, we demand that you remove that disgusting Nazi sign, or it will be done for you."

The letter was in a manila envelope addressed "To the resident" that also included anti-Trump political cartoons and editorials.

More from the article: Nodine, a 79-year-old lifelong Republican, said simply, "I'm not going to take anything down."

"I am disgusted by it," he said of the language in the letter. "It just really makes me mad, but you know, I got that right to get mad, I guess."

He called the Wake County Sheriff's Office but was told that, because there was no explicit threat to him or his family in the letter, deputies really couldn't do anything.

If someone does remove his signs and flags, authorities told him, that person could be charged with trespassing and theft.

The left is consumed with hatred and intolerance. They can’t even cope with people having different political opinions from them without whipping out the slander and hysteria.

It is for this reason that many Trump supporters keep their views to themselves. It explains why polling overestimates Democrat voters.

Now in a just world, this lowlife more than likely left his prints somewhere on the materials he mailed, good chance he has been fingerprinted in the past and a diligent investigator should be able to identify him and arrest him for making terrorist threats.

I find it comical and enlightening when a person of the Of Party of the KKK that also supported Hitler 100% until he attacked Mother Russia, calls a Trump Supporter a KKK Nazi while exhibiting and Practicing real FASCISM!!!

Yep. The Mayor of Raleigh and the Wake County Sheriff are Democrats. If things had been reversed and if such hate mail had been received by someone on the left.....one wonders if they would have ignored the implicit threats in the letter.

Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease. The SOBs prove it every single day. They want a shooting war. They know not what they’re asking for.

As much as the left dislikes Trump we disliked Obama and still do. Yet I do not remember repubs spitting on their food or beating up anyone with a Obama hat or shouting Obama supporters out of restaurants. I also do not EVER remember conservative college students violently shouting down liberal speakers off campus. All I read about is liberals shouting conservative speakers off campus (claiming ANY speech they do not agree with as hate speech). I also do not see repubs tearing apart booths re abortion of the lefists. Leftists destroy pro-life booths by tearing apart their personal property. No repub can have a conservative view without the dems destroying it. Repubs do not do that to dems.

No Repub EVER owned. Look at the chart. Just so libs remember. This is why they do not want history taught in schools and why they want statues torn down. Never let them forget.No Repub ever owned a slave. All slaves owned by dems.Remember the dems are the party of the KKK and racist white supremacy. Why don’t we keep telling thhe public that it was the dems who were the KKK and white supremesists.They were the slave owners and still to this day run inner cities like plantations. Take a look at this short video which talks about the 5 points used by the dems to keep blacks on the plantations are the same points used today to keep the blacks enslaved in the inner cities run by them. It is the dems who are the party of the KKK, white supremacists and racists to this day. They are also facists by trying to keep this truth from coming out. Dinesh Dsouza video.

Yes, in the video the reporter said he was going to be installing security cameras.

I hope he gets lots of letters of support for his courage.

Yep. Let’s keep up the Good Work, shall we? Let the Socialist Democrats think it’s in the bag - that worked SO WELL for, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ last time around.

KAGA! :)

Bernell Trammell was shot dead for his Trump signs. Woke Supremacists are evil.
