I am writing to express my outrage over hate speech from Trump supporters. On Sunday, I observed Trump supporters selling flags near the I-5 offramp at 78th Street in Hazel Dell. One of the flags carried the message “Joe and his Ho have Gotta Go.”
If this type of speech is not considered a hate crime, it should be. It is sexist, demeaning and offensive to women. Such a comment would never be made about a male vice president. It is concerning to have this language displayed in a public location, where children are exposed to it. The offensive and sexist content of this message should not be tolerated.
