Clothing company erects billboard of Marine Corps vet hogtying Trump in front of White House

A clothing company based in Oregon is stoking controversy with its new advertisement erected on a billboard in Times Square that depicts President Trump being tied up in front of the White House.

Footage of the billboard for the clothing company Dhvani shows Trump in distress as a model, who is also a Marine Corps veteran, hogties him with a red, white and blue lasso amid a storm before the White House.

Avi Brown, the CEO behind the Portland-based brand, told The Washington Post that the American flag-themed rope used to hogtie the Trump impersonator in the ad was inspired by the Wonder Woman’s famed “truth lasso.” Brown also said the storm in the backdrop of the ad “represents the inevitable and supernatural power of justice.”

The billboard is one advertisement in a series from the company taking aim at Trump, including another that depicts a group of women taping the president’s mouth shut with duct tape.

Brown told the Post that the company decided to put up the ad in Times Square to give “a voice to women.” The company is coming out against the Title X "gag rule,” specifically, according to the Post.

Brown told the newspaper that the company, which plans to donate some of its proceeds after the ad campaign to Planned Parenthood, has “never taken a political stand before but frankly, we were fed up.”

“This is just saying: Let’s put a gag order on him. Enough is enough. We support impeachment,” Brown said, while also adding: “Our intent is for our brand to stand for progressive change in the face of what we perceive to be steps backwards in the evolution of our country.”

The 30-foot tall billboard was condemned by the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter last Friday.

“Hey @nytimes and MSM. Since you had time to thoroughly cover a stupid and tasteless meme seen by 8 people with incredible outrage, I figured you should dedicate the same time and outrage to THIS BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE you hypocrites!” he tweeted. “Unless of course you’re just full of sh*t.”

These people have no idea of the storm they are going to create if President Trump should be impeached.

At least they darkened the ‘girl’s’ throat so as to hide the Adam’s apple.

Secret Service must be overrun with Liberals nowadays.
They don’t seem to react to this sort of thing anymore.
The impression is, only when the president is Democrat, do they automatically investigate without taking a poll first.

LMAO! They can hide behind the 1st. Amendment and false patriotism. I also have fantasies of what we WILL do to the left if they want to get off the pot and bring it. It would be pure horror them. Think Iraq and Syria “insurgencies” with an American twist. We invented the insurgency and bloody rebellious tactics. I have come to the conclusion,our sides will NEVER reconcile.

I certainly hope so. It will be a yuuuge improvement over the current state of such things.
