In Maryland, a controversial billboard displays cartoon caricatures of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in piles of cartoon feces. The pro-Trump message accompanying the images states, “DON’T BLAME TRUMP! YOU ARE STUCK WITH THESE TWO (expletive) HEADS!!!” While some applaud the sign, it has sparked offense among Maryland residents, with Chair Jeanette Flaim calling it “vulgar.” Despite objections, removing the sign may be challenging due to a 2015 Supreme Court decision supporting free speech. County Commissioner President Buddy Hance acknowledges the challenge, stating, “You know this country was built on the foundation of free speech.” Flaim, however, persists in urging its removal, emphasizing the sign’s inappropriate nature for public display. The individual responsible for the sign remains silent amidst growing public attention. The controversy adds to the backdrop of heightened political tensions following the 2020 general election.
