I shouldn’t think this is funny because it really isn’t.
But who on earth would expect that a Leftist California Methodist Minister and former leader of the Western congregations would be scribbling swastikas on food deliveries to his Jewish neighbor?
It’s something out of an absurdist TV show like Curb Your Enthusiasm: The BLM/LGBTQ+ Methodist Nazi caught on camera trying to terrorize his Jewish neighbor. And the Left blames it on Christian nationalist right-wingers.
You have to laugh before you cry.

Before I committed to writing about this story I did a bit of background checking on Nakagawa, to make sure he wasn’t some Right-wing apostate within the ranks of the Methodist church.
Nope. He is one of the people driving the push to recruit LGBTQ+ ministers into the fold, and lead and effort to build connections with the Black community and Japanese. He is also–until today, I think, since his bio was pulled down–part of the LA District Attorney’s advisory board.
Nakagawa appears to be yet another Leftist caught up in the anti-Jewish frenzy that has been sweeping the Western world. And there are no two ways about it, if you drawing swastikas you aren’t just taking a swipe at Israel’s Gaza policies.
So much for opposing “genocide.” They keep using that word incorrectly about Gaza, but sure seem to approve of the idea when it comes to wiping the Jews off of the earth.
The Left leaned into the idea that Nakagaw had been radicalized by Right-wing Christian Nationalists, but the simpler explanation is that he has joined into the Left-wing pogromism that has become their signature for the past several months. He has spent years as a Left-wing activist.
Nakagawa at first denied that he drew the swastika, but when called out he changed his tune. He was instead trying to educate his neighbor about the peace and love that the symbol respresented.
When KCAL asked Nakagawa about the incident, he said Grossman called him a fascist, but didn’t deny writing the symbol.
Instead, Nakagawa said he was trying to educate Grossman about the history of it as a Buddhist symbol of love. He repeatedly insisted he did not know how Grossman would react toward the drawing.
“The way I went about it, in hindsight, the way I went about it was not the right away to go about it. It was bad judgment on my part. I realize that,” said Nakagawa.
KCAL’s Laurie Perez reported that there is an actual movement by some to take back the swastika as a sacred symbol by educating people about its origin.
So you can add being a liar to the long list of awful things one can say about this man. A lying leftist minister who screams “fascist” at his neighbor and then draws a swastika on her food delivery. Damn, that is weird.
The Left seems to have adopted the idea that politics should consist of an unending stream of temper tantrums rather than rational discourse.
It’s exhausting and one of my biggest frustrations with people attached to the extremes on the political spectrum.
I think we can all feel confident, though, that this will be The Narrative:
