Mediaite reports:
The Washington, D.C. District Department of Transportation denounced and took down an anti-Trump transit ad this week after the poster claimed to have been paid for by the mayor’s office.
Images of the ad – which featured the slogan “Keep DC Trash Free” above a cartoon of a man in a “Make America Great Again” hat – went viral on social media.
Mayor Muriel Bowser came under fire from conservatives after they noticed a logo for the mayor’s office displayed on the bottom of the poster, insinuating that the ad had been paid for by the city.
Read the full article. The stupid claim that DC’s mayor paid for the posters was pushed by convicted January 6 felon, failed US House candidate, and former West Virginia state Rep. Derrick Evans. Joining in was the Students For Trump and Turning Point USA co-founder who was arrested last year for domestic violence after two previous DUI arrests.
Spotted on Capitol Hill this morning: “Keep DC Trash Free” with a picture of Trump & a Project 2025 book.
