Hateful graffiti has been popping up all over America ever since we elected a hateful troll to our country's highest office. Today, the playground equipment at Adam Yauch Park in Brooklyn Heights, which was renamed in honor of the late Beastie Boy in 2013, was defaced with two swastikas and the words "Go Trump." According to Brooklyn City Councilman Brad Lander, the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force and the Parks Department were on-site immediately, and the graffiti will be painted over tonight.
