Calvert Democrats Condemn Obscene Billboard. Call for its Immediate Removal.
Calvert County, MD. – On Monday, Calvert County Democratic Central
Committee Chair Jeanette Flaim condemned the latest billboard erected at
the intersection of MD 4 and Bowie Shop Road. “The obscene imagery and
language displayed on this latest sign is deeply disturbing” said Flaim. The
billboard displays caricature-like images of President Biden and Vice
President Harris on feces and includes expletives in its caption. Flaim
continued, “This does not reflect the values of our County, regardless of
party. Our county is home to a myriad of families who must drive by this on
their way from school or work. Our county welcomes visitors from far and
wide. Parents should not have to explain something so vile to their small
children. And it certainly shouldn’t be what our visitors remember us for.”
In January of 2018, the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners
voted to allow signs with graphic language and imagery in certain town
centers, including Huntingtown. “I’m not sure this is what those
Commissioners had in mind when they took that vote.” Flaim said. “It’s
clear that this has gone too far. I encourage our current Commissioners to
act swiftly to remedy this blight on our community. And the Calvert
County Democratic Party calls on our friends with the Calvert GOP to join
us in unequivocally condemning this sign and demanding its immediate
removal.”
