Anti-Trump billboard along Phoenix road stirs controversy
« on: March 19, 2017, 05:00:40 pm »
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A billboard with an anti-Donald Trump message is stirring controversy in Phoenix.

The billboard stands on the 1000 block of Grand Avenue, and is reportedly the work of a female artist named Karen Fiorito.

"I got the opportunity to have a platform to say something, and I took that opportunity, and I take full responsibility for it," said Fiorito. She said the Limited Liability Corporation, an organization in Phoenix that supports the arts, gave her a platform to make a statement about Trump.

The billboard contains a picture of Donald Trump, with mushroom clouds in the background, and dollar signs that bear some resemblance to the swastika on each side. On the other side of the same billboard, however, is a billboard containing sign language that reads "unity".

According to the artist, there is a lot to the billboard, and people can interpret it how they want. On Friday, people expressed mixed emotions about it, in the area where the billboard was put up.

Wow.  I find that billboard extremely upsetting.  Whether you like him or not, he is our President.  The way that he has been treated so far has been absolutely shameful.  Karen needs her hands slapped at the least.

I posted the pic because I found the choice of mushroom clouds hysterical.  This Atomic Kitten loved that part.  The rest is standard fare boilerplate, to be expected every time a Republican occupies the White Hut.  Get used to it.
