Not surprisingly, the chief suspect in the murder of a Latina Federal Judge's family members was a Trumpster.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/judge-esther-salas-shooting-suspect-left-pro-trump-paper-trail/614425/
Roy Den Hollander, the self-described anti-feminist attorney who authorities say is the chief suspect in the shootings of the son and the husband of a federal judge in New Jersey, attacked that judge by name in misogynistic, racist writings he wrote over a period of years and posted in bulk on the Internet Archive. Den Hollander, who describes himself as a Trump volunteer in his writings, called the judge an affirmative action case who affiliated with those who wanted to convince America that whites, especially white males, were barbarians, and all those of a darker skin complexion were victims.
Esther Salass 20-year-old son was killed in the attack at their home on Sunday, and her husband was wounded. Den Hollander was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Rockland, New York. Den Hollanders insults toward Salas were included in a 2,028-page collection of writings he posted online in 2019 under the username Roy17den, a handle that mirrored his Twitter account, @roy17den, and the email address he used both in personal letters and in court filings.
Female judges didnt bother me as long as they were middle age or older black ladies, he writes when discussing a lawsuit he filed that went before Judge Salas, the first Hispanic woman appointed a federal judge in New Jersey. They seemed to have an understanding of how life worked and were not about to be conned by any foot dragging lawyer. Latinas, however, were usually a problemdriven by an inferiority complex.
Along with the attacks on Salas, Den Hollanders writings also go after President Barack Obama (who he said has an obsession to turn America into a banana republic), Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor (who he claimed was angry that nobody had invited her to her high school senior prom), Hillary Clinton (whose supporters were teary-eyed, sad-sack, PC loonies watching their power of intolerance go down the drain), and an Obama appointee (whom he describes as part of that Orwellian party of feminists, ethnics, Muslims, illegals and queers who think they are superior to everyone else, especially white males.)

The Atlantic: The New Jersey Shooting Suspect Left a Pro-Trump Paper Trail (Original Post)

(82,849 posts)1. It's uncanny
All these violent bigots seem to find a kindred spirit in Trump and his administration, when everyone in the administration assures us again and again how not bigoted they are. Trump himself keeps saying that nobody's done more for the Black community with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln (and did you know he was a Republican?). So it's really unfair how his approval rating in the Black community hovers in the mid to high single digits.
