Well, no, of course not, the Editorial Board is Very Upset over a Donald Trump fundraiser
Mr. Trump Reopens the Wounds of a Hate Crime
Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at a Republican Party fund-raiser on Thursday in Patchogue, a village on the south shore of Long Island, about 60 miles from Manhattan.
This is a wretched development, a disgraceful provocation by the Suffolk County Republicans and their chairman, John Jay LaValle, who invited him.
There is no place that should welcome Mr. Trump’s politics, but the choice of Patchogue is particularly repellent. Patchogue is where Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorean immigrant, was fatally stabbed in 2008 by a white teenager, one of a marauding gang of high school boys who had made a nighttime sport of assaulting Latino men. The Republicans will be toasting Mr. Trump in a dance hall called the Emporium, on the same street as the crime scene, steps away from where Mr. Lucero fell.
That attack helped to identify Long Island with vicious anti-immigrant attitudes and violence. After the killing, scores of Latino residents came forward to say that they, too, had been hunted and harassed by white youths for years. The Suffolk County Police Department had routinely ignored their complaints; widespread reports of racial profiling and other police abuses prompted a Justice Department investigation and oversight.
Why is there so much hate in a county that typically votes majority Democrat? And while the attack was certainly disgraceful, is the New York Times Editorial Board really advocating that no candidate should hold a campaign rally anywhere near where something shameful happened? Because that would leave lots of areas where Democrats cannot go. Hillary and Bernie support open borders and illegal aliens, even ones who have committed crimes. Well, a goodly chunk of California would be out of bounds, as would NY City and other areas. The Democrats are the party of the KKK, segregation, Jim Crow, and slavery. That means the majority of the South is out of bounds.
Of course, the NYTEB is not advocating any of that. They are simply manufacturing Apoplexy and Outrage. They create Offendedness for the sake of being Offended, because they despise Donald Trump. Seriously, there are many things to complain about when it comes to Trump: this is silly. But, then, this is what Democrats worry about. Things like ISIS, radical Islam, illegal aliens bringing crime and disease, tyrannical government, none of them seem to worry Democrats.

Patchogue is where I keep my boat in Swan river it is far from being a wealthy town rural poor often tend to vote Republican
51% are registered Dem 47.5% are registered Republican I would rather doubt that any of the people involved in those hate crimes were in fact registered voters of either party
Those figures are from SperlingsBestPlaces (to live)
Perhaps instead of the accusatory question you should have checked the demographics of that town
Back 75 years ago when Trump’s dad was rioting with the KKK that county was totes all KKK
Of course that was when the KKK hated Blacks, Jews, and Catholics equally. They were nativists who really only wanted WASPS living in the USA ( sort of sounds familiar, huh)? They didn’t think the Jews and those Catholics (Papists!!!) would ever assimilate
