Dem Posts Hate Letter From Trump Fan, Then Experts Notice the Envelope

A Democrat state representative used social media to share a hate letter she claimed to have received from a Trump supporter, but internet sleuths are pointing out how it could be just another liberal hoax.
Hawaii state Rep. Beth Fukumoto posted a copy of the alleged letter last Wednesday.
“Got this in the mail today,” she wrote on Aug. 16. “You need to understand your words have consequences @realDonaldTrump #racism #WhiteNationalism”

Liberal news outlet The Huffington Post gleefully ran with the story, as it provided HuffPo with another opportunity to expose the supposed hatred President Donald Trump allegedly spreads with his rhetoric.
“Dear B****,” the letter began, “Your poor grand parents got put into a camp in the USA? Boo hoo hoo ― you Japs murdered thousands of servicemen at Pearl Harbor – did you forget that detail?”
The note when on to say that “we Trump supporters hate illegals, black thugs, Muslims and bombs, and gays who do nothing but b**** 24 hours a day — and bleeding heart traitor morons like you who ‘condone’ it.”

Take a look (but be warned, the language is pretty filthy):

Fukumoto also provided The Huffington Post with a photo of the envelope the alleged hate mail arrived in, but that only raised more questions about the authenticity of the letter.
Internet sleuths quickly pointed out several problems with the hate mail.

A Twitter user who calls himself Thomas Wictor pointed out several things wrong with what he saw.
He claimed that the the post office did not cancel the stamps and the barcode at the bottom of the envelop was an “intelligent mail barcode” used by commercial mailers — which would only make sense if the letter came from the representative’s office. (However, The Huffington Post reports that the code was printed by the post office’s sorting machines.)
The stamps are 10-cent commemorative stamps, which were printed in 1975. Makes one wonder — who would use collector’s stamps on hate mail?
And as 70News points out, the scanned ZIP code on the envelope, 96813-2477, is from Honolulu, not Los Angeles, where the letter supposedly originated.
We do not know if this letter is fake, but some of the things that were pointed out seem to indicate that it could be.
And considering the left’s problem with false reports these days, just about anything’s possible.
Share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know if you think this letter is real or fake.
