MAGA has raised its head in the highly unlikely location Chicago once again. Remember when thugs in MAGA hats oppressed Jussie Smollett? Now — only 1 mile away — these fiends are burning crosses like the KKK. Oh wait…
Via College Fix:
An Asian University of Illinois Chicago student set up a burning cross in Grant Park in order to protest President Donald Trump.
Earlier this week, Merlin Lu admitted to NBC 5 that he set up the burning cross on June 9.
When Democrats burned crosses in ages past, it was to terrorize blacks. Merlin has a different target:
“I put a red hat to signify the MAGA hat, the Make America Great Again hat,” he said. “So that was, yeah, that’s what I tied on top.”
Lu denied that he was calling for a violent end for Trump, although he said he didn’t “want to wait until his term ends” in a separate video he sent NBC.
Lu graduated from high school in a wealthy Chicago suburb. He presumably knows what his fellow moonbats would eagerly take the burning cross to mean:
“Yesterday, we were reminded that the sickness of spirit they symbolize exists not only in the pages of history but in our present day,” Cardinal Blase Cupich, leader of the Archdiocese of Chicago, said last week. “Seeing a burning cross in one of Chicago’s most-visited public parks was shocking but not surprising.”
Governor and Democrat presidential candidate JB Pritzker also jumped on the story:
“The fact that it even occurred at all speaks to what happens when the seeds of racism and fascism grow unchecked in our country,” Pritzker said, as reported by the Chicago Sun Times.
Please welcome Merlin Lu to the Hate Hoax List.
