Trans Veteran Says Her Car Was Torched By Trump Supporters

In a report from The Tennessean, an Iraq War vet and trans woman had her car torched, and the word "Trump" spray-painted on its hood and back, this past weekend in Putnam County, Tennessee.

The woman--who has not been identified but is being called "Elle" by police--retired from the army in 2007 following a severe injury and PTSD, was sleeping in her home when she and her 3-year-old son heard a disturbance in the wee hours of the morning. When she went to check it out, she saw her car door ajar, and after closing it, came back out a half hour later to find the vehicle engulfed in flames.

"Most of (the paint) got burned off, but one of the police officers pointed out that it said 'Trump' on the hood and the back," said Elle. "It just breaks my heart every time I walk past the driveway."

The Tennessean also reports while the police have not officially called the arson a hate crime, Elle says the vandalization is being treated as such.

Elle has been an active supporter of Hillary Clinton on social media, though not visibly in her yard.
