A day before Tuesday’s primary election, some of candidate Philip Levine’s campaign signs were vandalized with swastikas.
Levine, who is Jewish and is a former mayor of Miami Beach, tweeted a photo of the signs, which were posted near 66th St. N and Tyrone Boulevard.
In the tweet, Levine said he “will never be held hostage to hatred, or bigotry, or intolerance. Never.”
As Governor, I will never be held hostage to hatred, or bigotry, or intolerance. Never. All candidates should speak out against this intolerable behavior.
We are better than the haters, bigger than the bigots, and tomorrow we will show them why. #sayfie #flapol pic.twitter.com/E2437xWkpc

Fellow Democratic candidates Gwen Graham, Jeff Greene and Andrew Gillum replied and reacted to Levine’s tweet, calling the vandalism “vile” and “hateful.”
I am disgusted by the defacing of one of @MayorLevine’s campaign signs. Bigotry and hatred have no place in this primary, this state, or this country.

I’m saddened to see @MayorLevine’s sign was defaced with such a vile symbol. This behavior is unacceptable, and Floridians should join together to reject it.
Our diversity continues to be our biggest strength. #FlaPol #FLGov #Sayfie https://t.co/Xie7cbtCq1

Why do they always draw it wrong?
