Woman Finds Stack Of Anti-Hillary 'Lewinsky' Bumper Stickers At GOP Office
TPM ^ | JULY 11, 2014 | Nicole Laford

Posted on 07/14/2014 2:09:54 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

” th(e)y carry their insulin with them wherever they go.”

And if he didn’t have it with him, I would have taken him straight to an emergency care center, or hospital.

I cut my finger the other day and drove myself to GOP headquarters. The service was excellent.

Do you have one that says” Hillary the Cuckquean for President” ?
Yes, that is the proper spelling.

“Immunizing Hillary.”

Unless something new has been discovered in the fields of microbiology, law, politics or economics - nothing less than high pressure autoclaving in formaldehyde for 24 hours will decontaminate the HillaBeast.

Yeah, right. The old, diabetic Republican led her right to the cache of bumper stickers. But, even if true, so what?

If you are a retired journalist and you come upon a frail man who says he campaigns for the Republican Party, aren’t you supposed to kick him and runaway? Or force feed him Snickers?

Where did the dog go? Dims aren’t about to go out of their way for the enemy and use their own money or energy. False flag. She printed the thing, made up this story and hopes to get recognition.
