There’s no way around it-these images are bigoted and racist. This flyer was found posted in various spots at a #Modesto church -we’ve decided to blur certain portions of it. Sadly this isn’t an isolated incident. @FOX40
We’ve gotten detailed accounts of at least 4 instances around the Modesto area where flyers similar to these have been canvassed. 1 Church, 1 synagogue, 1 LGBTQ community center and a Congressman’s townhall event were all targeted @FOX40
