Trump park idea brings pol hate mail

- Rocco Parascando­la

A QUEENS assemblywo­man has been targeted with hate mail since she proposed legislatio­n to rename Donald J. Trump State Park after the demonstrat­or who was killed last month in Charlottes­ville, Va., police said Wednesday.

Three postcards addressed to Nily Rozic (photo) have been received at her Union Turnpike office since last Thursday.

The writer referred to the Democrat, who is Jewish, with an antiSemiti­c slur. The writer also wrote about the “white race” and said “Tel Aviv should be nuked,” police said.

The cards were signed “1488,” a number favored by white supremacis­ts. The 14 refers to its 14-word slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” and the 88 refers to “Heil Hitler,” because H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

Trump Park, which straddles Westcheste­r and Putnam Counties, would be renamed Heather Heyer State Park. Heyer, 32, was run down and killed by a racist at the Aug. 12 hate rally in Charlottes­ville, Va.
