‘I will tattoo a swastika on your head’: Seattle councilwoman threatened by Trump supporters
A Seattle councilwoman was on the receiving end of racist threats after calling for protests against president-elect Donald Trump.
Kshama Sawant is one of the few socialists to hold public office in the United States and spoke on Election Day to call for the public to “tell America we do not accept a racist agenda and let’s make sure of that on Inauguration Day.”
But when her speech went viral, she was inundated with furious callers and flooded with angry emails as well.

“A staffer was told on phone: ‘I will come and tattoo a swastika on your head and on that b*tch’s head,’” said Council spokesperson Dana Robinson Slote.
“Go back to India b*tch,” one email read. “I am tired of being shamed because I’m a white male. You automatically think I’m a racist. How about you go the f*ck back to India or wherever you came from?”
Another caller complained that there were no riots when Barack Obama was elected and said, “Stop being such a cry baby b*tch and go hang yourself.”
