A Democratic Party booth was booted from a county fair in Ohio over “offensive,” politically-charged buttons, officials say. The Ashland County Democratic Party booth was removed from the county fair on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 18, after fair officials “were made aware of offensive buttons” at the booth, fair officials said in a Facebook post.

“We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant. We apologize for those who saw the display,” officials said, adding that the decision was “not political, we just can’t have this at our County Fair!”

The buttons seemed to be referring to President Donald Trump, news outlets report.

On one of the buttons was an image of a red baseball cap, emblazoned with the word “felon,” and in bold text below, asking “Is he dead yet?” WOIO reported. Another button with the same design but different text read “one day we will wake up to his obituary.”

The Ashland County Democratic Party said in a Facebook post that the buttons were, in hindsight, something “we should have thought about … more,” given the current political climate in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination

1. But "Fuck Biden" on anything that can printed is A OK.

2. It looks more and more like law-enforcement in America is siding with the tyrant

3. Red states regularly display gun targets with prominent Dems in the center.

This has been going on for decades.
No one stops them.

4. yes...

Same cops will then say they "can't do anything" as its protected free speech.

5. Inappropriate for a fair and a boon for MAGA

It's an inappropriate message on the face of it. Fairs are for fun and for kids, especially. The Ashland County Democratic Party Facebook post shows that the Democrats agree the buttons were a bad idea. And I agree with these Democrats.

MAGA, on the other hand, would be 100% for letting people identify as Democrats while selling merch with (at best) obnoxious messaging. Republicans want people who claim to represent us Dems to be obnoxious, uncreative, charm school rejects. They don't want our based spokespeople and elected leaders. The "Is he dead yet?" stuff is a boon for MAGA.
