DC’s transportation agency scrambling to remove city ads likening MAGA supporters to garbage after uproar​

Washington DC’s District Department of Transportation denounced a transit ad that was spotted near the Capitol that likened MAGA hat wearers to garbage.

“Keep DC trash free,” reads the incendiary ad spotted by Capitol Hill Baptist Church pastor Caleb Morell.

The ad featured a red circle with a line through it over an image of a MAGA hat wearer holding a book labeled “Project 2025.”

The bottom of the ad includes the logo for the District of Columbia Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City program.

No political bias here. I'm sure that Republicans will get fair treatment in DC.

I can't see a city agency being dumb enough to do something like this on any sort of official basis. I suspect either a rogue employee or avant-garde artist is responsible.

It's clear that Biden is ultimately responsible. He was the first to speak of Republicans in this manner, on his DEI platform.

If you want to believe that, it's no skin off my back. I'm not sure what it adds to the conversation though.

Maybe. But it wouldn't surprise me any. That is the sentiment after all.

DDOT DC quickly denied any role in the creation of the politically charged ad.

“This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our teams are currently working to remove them,” DDOT DC wrote on X in response to Morell’s post.

“If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311.”

Again, he was the one who initiated this hate speech.

I will take that response as a "yes."

Step one is fold foil into a hat. With that magic hat one can view the facts any way he sees fit.

I suspected that when you begged the question.

What kind of glasses does it take to determine that it's a fact that a childishly crude poster was created by a major metropolitan transit agency's marketing department?

If I trusted my deep blue contacts; I'd blame it on Trump.

Who do you think made the poster?

Is it a fact that it was a "city ad"?

So who do you think made the poster?

I'll wait for the results of the non-partisan investigation. I won't hold my breath for that to originate within the DC government; but you are still free to jump to unfounded conclusions in the mean time.

Has the NY Post jumped to an unfounded conclusion in the OP?

Has the NY Post jumped to an unfounded conclusion in the OP?

Did they?

 

[essentialsaltes]

Did they?

Since you believe the origin of the poster is in doubt (requiring investigation), you must believe they did jump to a conclusion.

ETA: Ah, I see now that "city ads" must mean something like "ads within the city limits". So the NY Post story should really have a headline like "DC transport removes troll ads". And somehow this means something for American Politics.
