- A sign with the phrase “fake news,” the acronym “MAGA,” and an arrow appeared on the grounds of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus of the San Antonio Jewish Community, early Tuesday morning.
- The arrow reportedly pointed at the marquee for the Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
