A billboard in Houston that was recently put up in support of President Trump was defaced this week, displaying a new message against his reelection.

Houston lawyer Rogelio Garcia captured a photo of the large billboard that was graffitied and altered to say, "Take Trump to Prison," local NBC affiliate KXAN reported.

Words were added to the billboard, which initially just read "Trump."

Garcia's tweet quickly went viral with over 85,400 likes and 23,000 retweets as of Saturday morning.

The Democratic political group Turn Texas Blue posted a picture of the vandalized sign, taking responsibility for the alterations.

"Trump put up a billboard in Houston last week. We fixed it," the group posted Thursday.

The group noted that it also altered Houston's well-known overpass graffiti that used to read "Be Someone" to now say "Vote or Die.".

The organisation that took responsibility meets somewhere and is managed by someone. Stupid of them to publicly admit it.

Texas continues to be messed with due to lack of leadership.

A website that I frequent, PT News or something like that, used donations to put up a billboard in Portland. It is right across the street from the Portland Police Association and said Thank You Portland Police Bureau. He used donations and likely some of his own money for it. The contributors all knew it was going to be a trigger and actually it surprised us by lasting about a week with just a little paint damage. Last night the Kids in Portland got bored and set it on fire. The only surprise is that the police never even came out. Let the whole city burn. I no longer care.

Demonstrating once again that in this election, it’s the forces of middle class democracy, traditional values, and civilization versus the forces of far leftist ideological barbarism.

I have already voted for the former.

God help us all if the latter prevails.

This is projection at its ultimate. President Trump is innocent of any crime and the billboard defacer needs a quick trip to jail. The same goes to Sleepy Joe.
