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
The pastor at the church where the flyer was posted tells us he met today with other religious leaders in Modesto to discuss a response. He said they’d all taken extra security measures to protect their congregations @FOX40
And he’s unsure why a Church was targeted with anti-Semitic imagery. He says his church’s monthly vigils might have something to do with it. They hold up these signs, one of which also says “Love your Jewish neighbor.” It’s an exercise in tolerance and Christianity @FOX40
“I looked at the flyer and it was horrible...I don’t know, maybe that message, for people who want to spread hatred, it’s kind of a challenge to them.” -Pastor Mike Schiefelbein @FOX40

BREAKING: Kayleigh McEnany confirms President Trump has been taken to Walter Reed Medical Center. That’s a change of plans from this morning, when the President was going to remain at the White House @NewsNationNow
President Trump gave a thumbs up to the pool cameras on his way from the White House to Marine One. On his way to Walter Reed Medical Center for a few days, per WH Press Secretary @NewsNationNow
Walter Reed is full of local and federal law enforcement, entrance blocked off as President Trump begins his stay here at Walter Reed medical center @NewsNationNow
10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG#RuthBaderGinsburg@NewsNationNow
The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016
1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’
2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”
From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow#NexstarDC
"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC@NewsNationNow
McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC@NewsNationNow
