(CNN)Police are treating the burning of a black church in Mississippi -- during which vandals spray-painted "Vote Trump" on an exterior wall -- as a hate crime.

A 911 call reporting the fire at Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville came in at about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.

Most of the damage to the 111-year-old church was to the sanctuary, pastor Carilyn Hudson said at a news conference.

"We do believe that God will allow us to build another sanctuary in that same place," she said, though the extent of the damage was unclear.
There were no reports of injuries, and no one had been in the building since about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Hudson said.

pretty sure trump got on a plane, put on a kkk robe, and doused the gasoline and lit the fire himself, all while raping a 12-yr old at the same time.

plus, he's guilty of much more, which we will find out right here on this website

It just illustrates the nature of his avid supporters, that's all.

Or it could be opponents of Trump doing this in order to discredit Trump and his supporters

It would hardly seems like a good idea to anyone who wants people to vote for the man.  :whistle:
We may never know.

Wouldn't be the first time.  I'll wait and find out the facts.

Considering the white supremacist robocalls for Trump... and the Dylan Roof's massacre in a black church, this is more of the same. 

Also consider how the avid Trumpists act here, with their threats of violence.

I'd have to say that this is exactly the Trumpist M.O.

Same here.

This seems a little suspicious

Until they bring in the culprits, there is no proof on whom did this.  Solid red state.
