Kyle Clark reports for Denver’s NBC affiliate reports:
A Republican activist who publicly mused about shooting Latinos this week is claiming credit for racist signs that appeared overnight in Denver on Thursday. Sabo, as he is known, describes himself as a street artist. His company lists a PO Box in Aurora. Sabo told 9NEWS that he has been contacted by Denver Police, who are investigating the signs as a possible bias-motivated crime.
Sabo said he was motivated to post the signs because of reports that a Venezuelan gang forced the closure of an apartment complex in Aurora. The City of Aurora and Aurora Police have said the closure was not due to gang activity but rather years of neglect by a landlord. In a YouTube livestream on Wednesday, Sabo listed specific Latino nationalities he would use as “target practice” during a conflict.

On Truth Social, Trump shared images of the racist signs that were approvingly posted by Libs Of TikTok. Sabo posted some of the same signs seen below near the Democratic convention venue.
In 2016, Sabo’s artwork was sold on then-presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s official website until until his history of racist comments surfaced. Cruz then removed the items from sale without comment.
These signs are now popping up around Denver, CO as parts of nearby towns have been taken over and are being controlled by armed Venezualan migrant gangs.
