Source: Business Insider
The New York City Police Department's hate crimes unit is investigating after a poster of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was defaced with a swastika, a sexist epithet, and an anti-Semitic insult.
A commuter tweeted a photo to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the police on Wednesday showing the defaced poster on a Brooklyn subway platform, according to WNBC.
"DIE, JEW B----" was written across the image of Ginsburg. There was a swastika over her mouth.
The MTA tweeted a response and later followed up saying that the defaced poster, which was for the 2018 book "The Unstoppable Ruth Bader Ginsburg: American Icon," was cleaned up after the NYPD finished collecting evidence.
