Campaign sign for Jewish congressional candidate from Ohio defaced with swastika
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe campaign yard sign of a Jewish candidate for Congress from central Ohio is defaced with a swastika.
The sign for Lawrence Cohen, a Jewish candidate for the Republican Party’s nomination for Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, had been placed on public property, Justin Shaw, director of Jewish community relations at the Jewish Federation of Columbus, Ohio, told the Cleveland Jewish News.
The swastika was discovered on May 6, two days before the state primary.
“It seems like they decided that a Jewish candidate running for Congress was not something they could tolerate and decided to deface the sign,” Cohen told the local Channel 10 news.
