A billboard in Kentucky was vandalized overnight to decry President Trump’s attacks on four minority congresswomen.
What was originally an advertisement in Louisville for horse racing was altered Monday night to read, “Trump 2020: America’s Day as the Racist.”
The sign, located on Interstate 65 North near the Kentucky Exposition Center, was altered by political activist group Resist 45, the Courier-Journal reports.

The anti-Trump graffiti was quickly replaced with an new advertisement for WHAS11 TV.
Trump has engaged in a war of words with a group of four minority Democratic congresswomen: Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. In a tweet over the weekend, he told the congresswomen to “go back” to their countries, even though three of them were born in the U.S.
Resist 45 recently defaced a painted message on a bridge over I-64, which had said “Love Trump 45.”
