Democratic National Convention hotels ‘hit with bomb threats and anti-Semitic notes’

Hotels being used for the Democratic National Convention have reportedly been hit with bomb threats and anti-Semitic statements.

Police officers and dogs searched Nobu Hotel in Chicago – which is hosting the convention that will officially recognize Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee – shortly before noon on Monday, Fox 32 reported.

The threat stated that pipe bombs were put at Nobu Hotel and three others including the Hotel Chicago West Loop and Hyatt House Chicago in West Loop and the University District, reported Fox 32 political correspondent Paris Schutz.

Schutz shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter) of several cop cars around North Peoria Street.

Cops scouring the area did not immediately find suspicious objects.

The reported threats came hours before former President Barack Obama is expected to speak on the second day of the Democratic Party’s convention.

On the opening night of the convention, President Joe Biden delivered a tearful farewell speech.
