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.
Wow. She found anti-hillary bumper stickers at a gop office? What a scandal to find opposition material at the offices of the opposition! /s (assuming this wasnt a false flag)
That’s very good except many of Hitlery’s supporters wouldn’t know who “Rodham” is. LIV’s, ya know.
I want.
And to the left it is a crime to say anything bad about the Hildebeast. Holder will investigate to see if charges can be filed.
The story of driving a man in need of insulin to the Republican Party HQ on a Sunday reeks of apocrypha.
And to the left it is a crime to say anything bad about the Hildebeast. Holder will investigate to see if charges can be filed.
Off to the reeducation camps with them.
No ... I don't think the Democrat-Socialist Party is going to invest a whole lot into her campaign for president, even if it turns out she's the best they have. The brilliant strategists they are, they'll invest their time, money and effort into maintaining power in Congress.
Of course, it's a long way to November 2018 and, with the current GOPE leadership, anything -- and I do mean anything -- can happen to put the Democrat-Socialist Party right back into the game.
It’s the truth. What’s the problem?
Yes, but the problem is their are too many Republicans who would rather make a stupid joke about her than beat her politically.
And the problem with this is? Truth hurts doesn't it?
lol!
She may be a terrible candidate, but unless a meteor strikes the earth, she will be president in 2017.
I don’t do bumper stickers either. But that’s a lot to put on a sticker; almost have to wait until a stop light or sign to read it. I just tried Cafe Press to see if the sold such, but it is “HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.”
All the reason to hit her hard with ‘more’ of these stickers. Eventually something will stick to her. I promise!
Immunizing Hillary.
I have to disagree. Clinton was never her boyfriend. She was more like his appliance. She was his girlfriend, mistress, whatever, she was several notches below that.
Yeah, I meant November 2016 ... but the last thing I’m concerned about is Hillary Clinton being elected president ... not gonna happen no matter how many meteors miss us!
