Trump win: Nearly 900 cases of hate, intimidation reported

White supremacists have verbally and physically attacked minorities, invoking Trump's name, says new SPLC report

Nearly 900 incidents of hate and intolerance were recorded across the United States in the days following Donald Trump's election, many by assailants apparently emboldened by his victory, an advocacy group reported Tuesday.

"I have no doubt whatsoever that this is a tremendous, tremendous undercount," said Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.

    'The level of hate that's been unleashed by the election... is something entirely new'

The group recorded 867 cases of harassment and intimidation in the 10 days following Trump's election, which was cheered by white supremacists and others fired up by his rhetoric disparaging immigrants, Muslims and women.

"Many harassers invoked Trump's name during assaults, making it clear that the outbreak of hate stemmed in large part from his electoral success," it said in a report.

Though it was not clear from the SPLC data whether the United States is experiencing a spike in such attacks, Cohen said that: "Time after time, those who reported hate incidents to us said they had never experienced anything like that before."

"The level of hate that's been unleashed by the election, they told us, is something entirely new."

Most incidents involved graffiti or verbal harassment, although a small number were violent physical altercations.

 Trump 'must apologize for unleashing hate crimes'

Donald Trump was rushed offstage by members of his Secret Service detail during a rally Nov. 5 in Reno, Nevada, after a person in the crowd shouted that someone had a gun.

Incidents motivated by racial hatred certainly have taken place since Election Day, but is there “a national outbreak of hate, as white supremacists celebrate Donald Trump’s victory” that should be blamed on the president-elect himself?

That’s the claim of the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center in the introduction to a report issued Tuesday that compiled 867 alleged incidents of “harassment and intimidation” in the 10 days that followed the presidential election.

I'm kind of curious.  Has the SPLC called on either CAIR or the Muslim Brotherhood to apologize for all the murders muslims have perpetrated on Americans?  Or are they afraid to broach to subject with muslims?

"Alleged" cases.  Considering that at least two people have been arrested and charged with filing false police reports "alleging" Trump-motivated violence, this report cannot be taken seriously until and unless they have taken the incidence of such false reports into account.

Right. Also a lot of people have been attacked for supporting Trump (or even just for being accused of supporting Trump).


They're not brown though so it's ok according to the SPLC.

Sorry, but if it comes from the SPLC it is automatically to be disbelieved unless verified by other sources.
