While I'm sure there is probably a correlation, you cant simply ignore this quote from the article/study:
A full study would probably also take into account the provocation stirred up by the known Russian Facebook groups that intentionally set up events and brought together both sides of an argument in person in hopes of stirring up trouble. Who knows what other factors could have contributed. Having Democrats constantly call everyone a racist probably splashes some gas on the fire too.
Fair, but there are too many unknowns, including what I mentioned, and what this poster mentions, mean are those not included at all, are they included incorrectly? Who knows.

I just find studies like this questionable since its easy to make data say what you want. Id just like to see more details, but to be honest I have ad blockers turned on and WaPo blocks me from reading so I dont know if there is more detail behind the data.
I'm just curious about the rebuttal Trump supporters are going to come up with in regard to this study. You often hear them praise Trump as the most peaceful, loving, altruistic president ever, but they never seem to understand that much of the country sees his rhetoric differently. Personally, I think he ran a vile campaign - hitting the low point when he mocked the disabled NYT reporter Serge Kovaleski. It doesn't surprise me that you find a statistically significant effect of Trump rallies on hate crimes.
I challenge any Trump supporter to find a statistical/mathematical study that counters this evidence.
There is no counter; it's a fact. If Democrats lose they break out the bricks and bats and find someone to blame it on.
It's not the Trump supporters' fault that Democrats hate Republicans. Kind of silly of you to suggest it is.
Hillary had campaign rallies/events in almost exactly the same counties as Trump.
Why is WaPo singling out Trump?
