Charleroi Leaders Disturbed By Social Media Post

A shocking social media post is the latest attack on Charleroi’s immigrant population. The flyer promotes a white supremacy group and asks “white citizens of Charleroi” to arm themselves and “protect your families.” Local officials tell WPXI there weren’t physical flyers posted throughout the community, but one posted on a private community page on Facebook. The flyer includes several Ku Klux Klan logos. The flyer reads in part “arm yourself white America” and “these 3rd world immigrants are destroying every single city they arrive in.” It comes following remarks made about the borough by former President Trump during a campaign stop. Local leaders from both sides of the aisle have called for an end to this hateful rhetoric. Local officials say they’ll continue to remain vigilant to ensure the safety of all residents.
