They also found 'TRUMP' written in red paint on the mailbox, as well as 'Cuomo=Death to America' with a hammer and sickle painted on the street and grass.

The words 'Cynthia Nixon' and 'Go Home' were also painted in white.

Nixon is challenging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary.

Colicchio said he believes the incident was in response to him putting up a sign supporting Perry Gershon, the Democrat who is running for Congress against Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin.
