Chuck Schumer Slams Trump Swastika Move In U.S. After Sydney Attack

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has reacted sharply to a controversial decision by the U.S. Coast Guard to delist the swastika as a designated hate symbol, a move that has triggered outrage following the deadly Bondi Beach massacre. As shock and grief continue to grip the public, critics say the timing and symbolism of the decision have intensified concerns over rising extremism and mixed signals from authorities. Schumer warned that removing widely recognized hate symbols risks normalizing extremist ideology at a moment when societies worldwide are confronting violent attacks linked to hate-fueled beliefs.
