Clothing company erects billboard of Marine Corps vet hogtying Trump in front of White House
A clothing company based in Oregon is stoking controversy with its new advertisement erected on a billboard in Times Square that depicts President Trump being tied up in front of the White House.
Footage of the billboard for the clothing company Dhvani shows Trump in distress as a model, who is also a Marine Corps veteran, hogties him with a red, white and blue lasso amid a storm before the White House.
Avi Brown, the CEO behind the Portland-based brand, told The Washington Post that the American flag-themed rope used to hogtie the Trump impersonator in the ad was inspired by the Wonder Womans famed truth lasso. Brown also said the storm in the backdrop of the ad represents the inevitable and supernatural power of justice.
The billboard is one advertisement in a series from the company taking aim at Trump, including another that depicts a group of women taping the presidents mouth shut with duct tape.
Brown told the Post that the company decided to put up the ad in Times Square to give a voice to women. The company is coming out against the Title X "gag rule, specifically, according to the Post.
Brown told the newspaper that the company, which plans to donate some of its proceeds after the ad campaign to Planned Parenthood, has never taken a political stand before but frankly, we were fed up.
This is just saying: Lets put a gag order on him. Enough is enough. We support impeachment, Brown said, while also adding: Our intent is for our brand to stand for progressive change in the face of what we perceive to be steps backwards in the evolution of our country.
The 30-foot tall billboard was condemned by the presidents eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter last Friday.
Hey @nytimes and MSM. Since you had time to thoroughly cover a stupid and tasteless meme seen by 8 people with incredible outrage, I figured you should dedicate the same time and outrage to THIS BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE you hypocrites! he tweeted. Unless of course youre just full of sh*t.
SNIP
Please dont let the Shithole Portland freaks confuse you. There are more Trump supporters here than you think. The Demoncrats have been throwing mail in ballots from republicans and independents away! Trump WON all but 3 counties here I spite of it! The Republicans need to get their poll watchers in here and stop this shit!
Had i the money Id like to see a tit for tat for all these violent images.
Free speech is a thing and its political speech. I wouldnt ban it but answer it.
Lets see a billboard of Obama being hogtied. (Normally I would not approve). How do they like that?
Lets see a tweet of a liberal icons bloody head being held up by a comedienne lookalike.
Lets see a cartoon of a spiked heel impaling Bernie Sanders.
This should cause some self examination. If one is ok so is the other.
This Dhvani clothing company has a LEGAL DISCLAIMER on its website. Y’all get a load of it!
https://www.dhvani.com/pages/legal-disclaimer
All persons depicted in their advertising fictional, not intended to resemble real people! They don’t condone violence of any kind!!
Where were they when Obama allowed boys to walk into the girls room.Boys to take over girls sports.Little girls to buy abortion pills at the drug store.
Not intended to resemble real people??
And then they hate you for looking at them....
More like a Demi Moore hear-me-roar kind of `Marine’.
And notice there’s no USMC uniform, just black Spandex. So what makes this broad a `Marine vet’? A press release?
You Portlanders with your heads still on straight need to evac, pronto. The South calls to you.
good way to cut their potential market in half ...
Their size chart makes that very clear.
That is not hogtying.
When democrats are in power. They use it, very effectively. They stomp on any discontent and actually punish people.

We support impeachment
Notice how they never support this with naming a high crime and misdemeanor
Ignorant people who must be dealt with. By any means necessary
Precisely my thought.
Silicone?
Unbelievable, it’s truly evil! Can you imagine the blow-back and outcome if there had been a similar billboard featuring Obama? I’m sure arrests and jail time to follow, at the very least.
And stiletto heels!

” That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed. “
I am concerned for New York and Portland.
I hope Avi Brown, whoever he / she / it may be, and Dhvani (never heard of them) both go bankrupt.
