Vulgar T-Shirts Disparaging Harris in Demand

October 28, 2024 at 8:51 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “The merchants and their customers have become a polarizing staple of Trump’s campaign events this election season, promoting shirts with different slogans and spellings of the same vulgar attack. While not the majority of Trump rallygoers, their persistent presence speaks to how much the candidate’s fans have echoed his demeaning attacks on Harris in even more offensive terms.”

“Many supporters say they revel in his unfiltered rhetoric and see it as a core part of his appeal, effectively creating a safe harbor at his events for vicious insults.”
