A state Assembly member is calling for a hate crimes investigation after her Manhattan district office was splashed with white paint and a vulgar, anti-Semitic note was left under the door. “We will never be intimidated by this criminal act,” Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright, a Democrat first elected in 2014, said in a message Tuesday. She said police are investigating the Monday night vandalism. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie condemned the incident. “The Assembly majority has always been very clear that we have a zero tolerance policy for any form of hate, including anti-Semitism,” Heastie said in a statement Tuesday. Seawright hosted a virtual town hall on fighting anti-Semitism last month and held a similar forum last year after swastikas were found on a nearby fitness complex. (AP)
