Somerville Trump Supporter Target Of Vandalism

SOMERVILLE, MA – A Somerville man had his pickup truck and home vandalized with anti-Trump messages over the weekend. Martin Tompkins, a Trump supporter who displays a "Make America Great Again" sign in his window and a pro-Trump bumper sticker on his car, found both covered in red spray paint Saturday morning.

The messages included "BLM" – the acronym for "Black Lives Matter" – painted across the hood of his car and "Trump is next" emblazoned on the side of his house, according to Boston 25.

Tompkins' neighbor told CBS Boston she does not believe hateful messages are right way to "fight Donald Trump," adding, "[Tompkins] has always been really nice to me." In an interview with Boston 25, Tompkins said it is not the first time his support of the president has made him the target of vandals. Another incident last month is under investigation as well.

The most recent vandalism, namely the threatening nature of the "Trump is next" message, has been forwarded to the Secret Service, according to reports.
