Who's Paying For These Racist Anti-Harris Sign Stunts?

As the Denver Post reports, police are investigating as alleged vandalism the bolting of racist, anti-immigrant signs to existing signposts along East Colfax Avenue overnight:

Photos posted by Lewis show signs screwed onto a Regional Transportation District bus stop pole at Colfax Avenue and Garfield Street, located outside of National Jewish Health and just west of Colorado Boulevard.

The bus stop sits on the north edge of Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood.

One white sign reads “Blacks must sit at the back of the bus. Kamala’s migrants sit in the front.” Another yellow caution sign on the same pole warns riders of “Kamala’s illegals,” with imagery of people running that is supposed to mimic immigrants crossing the border.

The metal or plastic signs appear to have been fastened to signposts with the same bolts used to affix legitimate signage, and fortunately that means they can be removed as easily as they were installed. Colfax Avenue can be assumed to have plenty of law enforcement and other security camera coverage, so the investigation may be able to figure out when it happened and perhaps even who did it pretty quickly. The signs don’t have any of the required disclaimers for an election communication, but this isn’t the first time they’ve been seen. Here’s the same sign in Chicago last week outside the Democratic National Convention:

Politically, we can’t see how posting these signs in one of the most liberal ZIP codes in Colorado is a good use of resources, especially compared to the number of voters this message turns off. But in terms of production and distribution, the effort was not without expense, and appears to be bigger than just our state.

Now that they’ve attracted a bonafide criminal investigation, maybe we’ll get some answers for everybody asking the same question.

Somebody is going to a lot of trouble to "own the libs". We know it isn't the Jan. 6th domestic terrorists because they haven't been (and probably won't be) pardoned. Maybe Dave Williams is picking up some contract work?
