Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) reported several staff members have had “Death Camps for Trump Supporters Now!!!” left at the homes and on their cars. The posters were first reported to have recently appeared last in the Suffolk County town of Patchogue on Long Island, which is part of Zeldin’s First Congressional District.
“No community is immune from this political hate. This is happening now in NY-1 (also being placed on my staffers’ homes & cars). Between this, trying to publicly shame GOP donors here & worse, those w hate consuming their hearts are only sowing division!”

Pictures taken over the weekend and obtained by Patch showed two fliers hanging across the street from Stanley’s Bedding Furniture on East Main Street, between Maple Avenue and North Ocean Avenue. Two more were also posted on a street sign and electrical box across the street from the nearby Family Dollar store.
The signs include a skeletal figure wearing a black jacket, white collared shirt and red tie. The words appear in red overlaying the photo.
