Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a statewide emergency call-in system today to deal with a burst of racially and religiously-motivated incidents following the incendiary election of Donald Trump to the presidency.
The Democratic governor rolled out the toll-free number—(888) 392-3644—in Rochester this afternoon, and encouraged New Yorkers who think they may have been the victim of a bias crime to ring. Since Trump’s shocking victory one week ago on a fiercely anti-immigration platform, spray-painted swastikas have proliferated at college campuses like the New School and the State University of New York at Geneseo, in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish enclave of Crown Heights in Brooklyn and in upstate Wellsville.
That last graffiti attack also featured the note “make America white again,” a reference to the Manhattan developer’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
“There has been an explosion recently in the number of hate crime instances,” said Cuomo, a recipient of Trump’s political contributions and a supporter of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. “We want to make a very clear statement in this state: that there is no place for racism, there is no place for hate, there is no place for swastikas, there is no place for racially-inflammatory and divisive rhetoric or acts. This is New York. This is America. We are all immigrants and the way this state and this country works is we are a diverse population.”
Trump seemed to flirt with white supremacists and anti-Semites throughout the campaign, repeatedly sharing their tweets and content on social media. He received the endorsement of famed white supremacist David Duke—which the Queens-born businessman initially refused to disavow—and branches of the Ku Klux Klan, among other hate groups.
But the president-elect called on his supporters to “stop” their acts of violence and vandalism in an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday. That same day, though, he incited outrage by naming his campaign CEO Stephen Bannon as Chief Strategist and Counselor to the President. Bannon previously ran the site Breitbart, which he advertised as a “platform for the alt-right”—an Internet slang term for loosely confederated anti-Semites, misogynists and rank racists.
“We are people from all difference races, from all difference countries, different religions, but we are one community at the end of the day. Hateful rhetoric or hateful slogans are not just immoral, unethical, not nice, they’re also illegal in the state of New York,” Cuomo said. “I understand the political environment out there, and I understand the sentiments that have been raised, but the law is the law. The hate crimes legislation and the hate crimes laws will be enforced.”
Curiously, the day after the election, Cuomo phoned into NY1 to describe how Trump’s win would be a “bonus” for New York. Over the weekend, he backpedaled, penning a Facebook post in which he pledged to defend the undocumented immigrants the Republican has targeted for deportation and sexual minorities who may fear having their rights abridged.
Cuomo’s chief rival in the New York Democratic Party, Mayor Bill de Blasio, held a roundtable with clergy this afternoon to discuss the outbreak of apparent hate incidents.
This guy and those 16 hypocrites who would leave the US if Trump was elected will suddenly see the light and start promoting him ‘cuz like you know, money and more fame and all. Next stop for them would be DWTS.
so we will now get a bunch of nutters who will call, and make up more crap.
So deluge it with reports of the left’s vicious statements and actions.
Wonder how quick they would hang up if a Trumper was getting beat up by a gang of Hillary thugs?
Pray America woke
Make the number 1-SNOW-FLAKE for ease in remembering.
Deluge it will calls. Just hold the phone up to the latest rap music.
Call it and yell “I hate Andrew Cuomo!”
I just called and after a brief menu prompt (push 1 for English of course), I left a message saying in my feeble old man voice:
“I’ve gotten dirty looks for yelling “Trump! Trump! Trump!” out in public after the election and I’m scared.”
When I got right to the end I couldn’t hold it together and burst out laughing. It took my message though!
Cuomo IS a hate crime.
Call up and say...pizza to go and no anchovies.
These are classic textbook tactics used by all wannabe dictatorial political groups. The Russians used them in their revolution, Hitler used them in his and Mao in China’s. They are what Socialists/Marxists do and will continue to do until they either finally succeed or are terminated with extreme prejudice.
Here’s where to call in your fake hate crimes!
Cry-baby line! Or, fake story line. Then they’ll accumulate all the false stories and parade it around as truth.
caller: “I saw a Man With A Gun. It was very scary!”
operator: “Where did you see him?”
caller: “Or was it Man With The Gun?”
operator: “Uh, I’m sorry, could you just tell me where you saw him?”
caller: “It was on TCM. They’re having a Robert Mitchum marathon.”
I bet there will be a lot of calls on people being beaten for voting for Trump
“and then they accused me of voting for Trump and bashed me with tire irons...” CLICK
Left the state in 1980...only the fools are left
Can I call in and report the media and the Democrat party ?
