A Virginia woman told TPM on Friday that she recently discovered a stack of anti-Hillary Clinton bumper stickers at a local GOP office, despite denials from the state party that it had anything to do with the stickers.
Carole Donoghue, a retired journalist, said she found the bumper stickers at Fairfax County Republican Committee headquarters in Fairfax, Va. The bumper stickers read “Monica Lewinsky’s X-Boyfriend’s Wife for President." In small print, they included the words "Authorized By Republican Party Of Virginia."
Donoghue talked to TPM hours after a spokesperson for Republican Party of Virginia denied the state party had anything to do with the anti-Hillary bumper stickers. The spokesperson told the Washington Post that the stickers were "an amateur effort" and the state party's strategy "does not involve that."
Donoghue's discovery, however, raises questions about the denial.
Donoghue said she was out walking her dog on Sunday when she found an older man sitting on the pavement who looked like he “wasn’t doing well.” The man told her he was out campaigning for the Republican Party, and that he was diabetic and needed insulin, she said. Worried about the man's condition, Donoghue drove him back to the county Republican Party headquarters.
It was there in the office, Donoghue said, where she found the Lewinsky bumper stickers.
"The man wanted to repay me for driving him, so I just took one of the stickers as a trophy," she said. "There was a whole stack of them there."
The existence of the bumper stickers was first reported Friday on Twitter by Reuters political correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti, who posted a photo of one of them.
Donoghue said she wanted to speak out about her discovery after the state party denied being involved.
"They are just cheap and stupid, and if you are going to be cheap and stupid at least be honest about it," Donoghue told TPM. "The denial was dishonest."
A woman who answered the phone Friday afternoon at Fairfax County Republican Party headquarters told TPM she hadn't been in the office on Sunday and didn't know who was. She said she didn't know whether the bumper stickers had been there that day, but she said none were there now. She declined to give her name.
“We have a lot of bumper stickers,” the woman said. “We don’t have any of those bumper stickers though.”
TPM left a voicemail and sent an email to a spokesperson for the Republican Party of Virginia on Friday afternoon, seeking comment. The messages were not immediately returned.
The bumper stickers read “Monica Lewinsky’s X-Boyfriend’s Wife for President.”
Technically it is 100% True....
It probably is a false-flag operation, and they’re doing it to preemptively spike a legitimate attack on the Hildabeast.
Because ...
It is true. And it is a reminder of the sleazefest that was the Clinton Administration.
So what? Did you find any movies asking for her assassination ? I didn’t think so.
BTW I just found my GoreLoserman sign. I love it!
I might send the GOP a five buck donation for that bumper sticker.
I would too but one of those “Tolerant”, “Celebrate Diversity” Hitlery supporters would damage my car.
Perfect!
As a diabetic I take issue with the narrative that a man was out campaigning and not prepared with a glucose meter or insulin on his person.
The whole story smells like three day old fish.
So?
Sure, Carole.

This story rees so full of BS I don’t know where to start.
My points:
1. First of all the GOP would have better produced commercial bumper stickers not the type you’d see designed on a ApC and printed out on an ink jet printer like the one depicted in the photo.
2. I know a lot of diabetics; thy carry their insulin with them wherever they go. They wouldn’t leave it back at GOP headquarters.
3. Most volunteers won’t have their own keys to the “GOP headquarters”. They would have to be let in by a supervisor.
4. The circumstances under which she met him - “walking a dog and just happened upon this poor soul”. I’m sure the woman was a “compassionate” Democrat
Sorry I don’t buy it. This is another one of the manufactured gay waiters being discriminated against by not leaving a tip stories the left oves to use to demonize their opponents with...
And... don't be wimps and lie abut it. Say, "Yeah, so what?" and refuse to be intimidated.
Cowards lie and refuse to admit to their actions.
As if they could not have been “planted” there.
I’ve seen them on cars in this area for quite some time.

Yes. Which is why I think it is a false flag operation.
Nice!
The GOP opposes the Hildebeast? So what?
I don’t do bumper stickers, but I’d love one of these.
I just wish they’d admit to making them.
