NASHUA, NH — State Rep. Manny Espitia (D-Nashua), became the target of white supremacists when a hate group sent a threatening message to him online. The group state officials said targeted Espitia was the National Socialist Club (NSC-131). The threat came in response to Espitia speaking out against racist graffiti on the Rail Trail in Nashua, a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. “Anyone with a name like ‘Manny Espitia,’ State Rep. or not, has no moral right to throw shade at any true (White) Nationalist New Hampshire,” read the threat Espitia received on the instant message platform Telegram. “You have no right to be here, you’re an occupier here, and the days of these types trampling on New England are coming to an end.” Espitia on his Twitter said the threats won’t stop him from speaking out against racial injustices.”No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity,” Espitia tweeted. “I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won’t stop because of Neo-Nazis.”
