Boca Raton, FL – Some residents in Boca Raton woke up Wednesday morning to find hateful messages outside of their homes.
U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch tweeted a photo of one of the antisemitic flyers, which contained the face of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler with the words, “Died fighting the human race’s eternal enemy, The Jew.”
Deutch said in the tweet that “this vile antisemitism must be universally condemned. And the cowards spreading this hate must be held accountable.”
These were “delivered” to homes in Boca Raton, FL this morning.

Hitler attempted to eradicate the Jews from the earth. His Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews.

The flyer that Deutch showed was inside a plastic bag and weighed down by corn.
Boca Raton police spokesman Mark Economou said they received “multiple reports” of the flyers Wednesday morning including in the Lake Wyman area of the city.
Economou said police are currently investigating the cases.
Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer said the flyers were left in driveways at homes on four streets.
“We fully condemn this vile hate. … We stand strong & united against all bigotry & antisemitism,” Singer said in a tweet.
Angry that this AM a cowardly hatemonger left antisemitic & pro-Hitler flyers in driveways at homes on 4 streets in our city. We fully condemn this vile hate. Boca PD investigating. Unusual here; unacceptable anywhere. We stand strong & united against all bigotry & antisemitism
