Racially Charged Flyers Featuring Lincoln-Like Images Being Investigated in Southington

SOUTHINGTON, CT — Southington police are investigating who may have placed what seems to be racially charged flyers around town over the weekend.

At about 9 a.m. on Saturday, Southington police received a complaint from a resident who
reported finding a "racial flier" attached to a Stop Sign on Brentwood Drive, at the intersection of Mount Vernon Road, according to a report.

Police said the complainant removed the flier and brought it to the Southington Police Department.
The flier shows what seems to be Abraham Lincoln's profile with Uncle Sam's beard and hat with the inscription, “We Founded this Nation,” police said.

An officer checked the Mount Vernon Road corridor and located two additional fliers, police said.

At the intersection of Jude Lane and Mount Vernon Road, a second "We Founded This Nation" flier was located, police said. At the intersection of Beal Drive and Jude Lane, a flier titled "Take Our Country Back" was located, police said.

Both fliers have a “White Whalers Book Club” insignia on them, police said. An internet search showed no
information on the White Whalers Book Club, police said.

One sign asked "the white man" to "look around" at "globalist traitors" who are "destroying" the "race" and"heritage" with "open borders" and "Marxist political correctness" and "affirmative action."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Southington Police Department at 860-621-0101.
