Everyone can post stories here, I'll start out:
While many reports of hate crimes against minorities and immigrants have proven to be hoaxes, one Slovenian immigrant was targeted in an anti-Trump protest in Washington, D.C., Saturday night.
A man protesting the election of President-elect Donald Trump held up a sign saying "Rape Melania," a reference to Trump's wife, a legal immigrant from Slovenia.
The man had gathered with other anti-Trump protesters in front of the new Trump hotel in Washington, D.C., which opened on Pennsylvania Avenue at the site of the Old Post Office building. The protester holding the sign reportedly fled when confronted by the lone Trump supporter in the crowd.
This anonymous protester's response to the election signals a clear contrast with that of the Slovenian prime minister, Dr. Miro Cerar. "Of course I am very happy that Slovenia was part of this election with our Melania Trump becoming the First Lady of the United States," Cerar wrote in a statement Wednesday. "I am sure that the president-elect already knows a lot about Slovenia."
Conservatives on Twitter blasted the mainstream media for allegedly ignoring the story.

. @CNN why are you IGNORING the "Rape Melania" signs that protestors are holding outside Trump Tower? Is THAT NOT newsworthy? #WhereIsPOTUS

Media & Hollywood can pretty much STFU about rape culture when NYT/Vox/WaPost/Buzzfeed remain silent about "Rape Melania" protest signs

Some reported this was a feminist protest, and attacked the irony.

Liberals and Rape Advocates teamed up at the Trump International Hotel. A feminist holds a sign that says 'Rape Melania' #TrumpProtests

Even anti-Trump liberals joined the chorus attacking the sign's message. This does not represent them, they said.

I just saw that #RapeMelania is trending. This is wrong. This is not funny. We believe in women's rights and equality - not this. #GoHigh

Rape Melania sign is unacceptable. I dislike Trump immensely but I denounce the individual who carried that sign. That is NOT who we are.
