A state representative from Nashua has been targeted by white supremacists in online racist attacks.
The threats against Rep. Manny Espitia came from the group NSC-131, after Espitia noted racist and anti-Semitic graffiti left by the group.
The graffiti included phrases like “Keep New England White” and “Death To Israel.” Espitia posted images of the racist phrases, which he said were left in a Latino neighborhood in Nashua.
“For folks who think that we live in a ‘color blind society’ you’re absolutely wrong,” Espitia wrote. “Don’t ever tell me that racism doesn’t exist in NH.”

New Hampshire Democratic state Representative Manny Espitia of Nashua was hit by a white nationalist group after he called out racist graffiti allegedly left by the group in the neighborhood where he was elected to represent.
On Friday, pictures were shared to social media showing racist graffiti on the Rail Trail in Nashua, including keep New England white and defend New England. Espitia and others blamed the graffiti on NSC-131, a self-described group of white nationalists. No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity. I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won t stop because of Neo-Nazis. Let this be a reminder that #NHisnotInnocent and racism does exist in our state #NHPolitics, tweeted Espitia, who s also president of the New Hampshire Young Democrats.
