Scottsdale campaign sign for Jewish candidate vandalized with swastika

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - A campaign sign for an Arizona Senate candidate was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti. Seth Blattman, who is Jewish, is running for District 23 in Scottsdale. On Friday, he learned someone drew a swastika on his forehead on a sign near Loop 101 and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard.

“Someone that I have never met, never seen, hates me for a reason I can't control because of who I was born to be," said Blattman.

Blattman said he lost family members in the Holocaust. For him, seeing that symbol of violence on his face was painful.

"I had a great aunt that I remember as a kid asking what the number on her arm meant," said Blattman.
