Synagogue vandalism suspect in NYC worked for Obama campaign in 2008

A 26-year-old man charged with vandalizing a historic New York City synagogue on Friday, just days after the Pittsburgh massacre, has been identified as a former campaign worker for Barack Obama who was profiled by the New York Times in 2017.
The Times described James Polite as a young man who “spent much of his childhood in foster care,” and performed canvassing work for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. After a chance meeting, he got a job that year as an intern for Christine Quinn, a former speaker of New York City’s city council who was also a former mayoral candidate.
On Friday, Polite was arrested and charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime in connection with vandalism Thursday at the Union Temple in Brooklyn that forced the cancelation of a political event.

Now that progs are caught red handed, this is where they tell us there are crazies on each side of the aisle and this doesn’t mean much

And it’ll be crickets on this from the MSM per usual

More often that not, these instances of "hate" vandalism are committed by leftists trying to make the right look bad.

Will be swept under the rug. The media still in love with the Kenyan prince

Remember how they reacted when President Trump used the "both sides" argument?

No wonder the MSM won't touch this.

A year ago, Polite was profiled by NYT -- a foster care kid who interned for Democrat City Council Speaker @ChrisCQuinn "working on initiatives to combat hate crime, sexual assault and domestic violence"

NYT: The 142 "anti-Semitic incidents have constituted half of all hate crimes in New York this year," per NYPD. 4x as many crimes motivated by bias against Jews as there have against blacks. More than crimes against transgender people by a factor of 20

From same NYT story, and of significance: "During the past 22 months, not one person caught or identified as the aggressor in an anti-Semitic hate crime has been associated with a far right-wing group," per NYPD.

this will be interesting to see how the fake news media either:
a) ignores or under reports this
b) finds a way to blame the bad Orange man
it's a difficult story for the propagandists

If the Leftist mass media can continue to place the blame on Republicans for such anti-semetic vandalism, then there is no need for them to stop these false flag operations.

And? Expect next to nothing from CNN, MSNBC, etc. Remember Eric Clanton? The antifa **** in Berkeley who hit the dude over the head with a metal bike lock? Turns out he hit 6 other people in the head. 7 times he tried to murder somebody. He was given probation. CNN never wrote a single article about it. Terrorism is perfectly legal in America. Go forth and kill.
