\u201cThis billboard puts the lives of these congresswomen in immediate danger and needs to be taken down right away. It labels the four women as harbingers of the apocalypse and then invites people to purchase guns \u20181 mile [ahead] on right.\u2019<\/p>\n

These women have already received multiple, credible death threats inspired by similar rhetoric and attacks. Someone has already been charged for an assassination threat against Congresswoman Omar where the suspect said \u2018I\u2019ll put a bullet in her fucking skull\u2019 and the assassination attempt that wounded Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was only a few years ago.<\/p>\n
Much of the media is irresponsibly downplaying this deeply concerning billboard as \u2018mocking.\u2019 This is not a joke and it\u2019s not an insult. This is encouraging gun violence against elected officials.<\/p>\n

This is also an anti-Muslim attack. The owners of Cherokee Guns have a Facebook post advertising a similar bumper sticker that is rife with disgusting anti-Muslim slurs including a reference to \u2018Infidels for Trump\u2019 and an invitation for patrons to \u2018eat a piece of bacon\u2019 to receive the sticker.<\/p>\n
Food festivals and houses of worship are being shot up by white nationalists and this billboard invites more violence. Allison Outdoor Advertising must take the billboard down and Cherokee Guns must stop its dangerous, anti-Muslim attacks before the worst happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
