Lee Zeldin's supporters showed their true colors at a Women for Foley rally this weekend. Protesters waved a South Carolina secessionist flag and signs supporting Arizona's harsh anti-immigrant laws. One protester was caught on film making an obscene gesture towards Foley supporters.

You stay classy Zeldin supporters.

Behind the paywall at Newsday, Dan Janison also covered the antics of Zeldin supporters, and City Hall News has a follow-up today, including a statement from the Brian Foley campaign:

“Yesterday’s insulting display by Zeldin supporters shows once again that my opponent does not share the values of Long Islanders. It is disgraceful and offensive that a flag of division and hatred is the symbol of Lee Zeldin’s campaign,” Foley said in a statement. “Outside interests from other regions of the country who are bankrolling this campaign of fear, lies and distortions are not welcome in our community and I am confident that Long Islanders will reject Zeldin’s extremist agenda.”

The Zeldin campaign has yet to issue a statement. What are they waiting for?
