Anti-MAGA Transit Ad Sparks Outrage

A transit ad near the Capitol likened MAGA to literal garbage.

Washington DC’s District Department of Transportation quickly denied this was from them.

The ad features a crossed-out MAGA hat-wearer (is that President Trump?) with a book labeled “Project 2025.”

Allegedly it falsely bore the logos of DC’s Public Works and Clean City programs.

DDOT declared they had nothing to do with it and vowed to remove the posters.

Meanwhile, the actual culprit remains elusive.

How is that possible in this police state with surveillance cameras everywhere?

This is what the DC department of Transportation is spending their money on….not the roads, not the congestion, not helping stop carjackings, but maligning Trump supporters. pic.twitter.com/uq9MLBtrmr

This looks like a job for DOGE!

I’m sure they’ll have someone looking into this.

This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our team has already removed the image.

If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311. pic.twitter.com/e4BELQJ1ma

Meanwhile, the transportation agency is rushing around trying to find all these posters and removing them.

I hope @PamBondi DOJ Investigates Bowser for squandering Federal Funds on this ant-Trump political garbage https://t.co/CGV4Rwr4cu pic.twitter.com/81rQxUIpmw

New York Post reports:

They don’t like the trash talk.

Washington DC’s District Department of Transportation denounced a transit ad that was spotted near the Capitol that likened MAGA hat wearers to garbage.

“Keep DC trash free,” reads the incendiary ad spotted by Capitol Hill Baptist Church pastor Caleb Morell.

The ad featured a red circle with a line through it over an image of a MAGA hat wearer holding a book labeled “Project 2025.”

The bottom of the ad includes the logo for the District of Columbia Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City program.

DDOT DC quickly denied any role in the creation of the politically charged ad.

“This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our teams are currently working to remove them,” DDOT DC wrote on X in response to Morell’s post.

“If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311.”

When asked for comment, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office referred The Post to DDOT DC’s response.

It is unclear who was behind the advert, but it wasn’t the first time a US city was plagued by dubious political ads.

Will this mystery ever get solved?

This seems like something Sherlock could solve during his lunch break.

This is Washington, D.C., where posters calling President Trump and MAGA supporters "trash" are plastered across the district — with the D.C. government's logo at the bottom.@MayorBowser denies involvement, but you have to wonder… pic.twitter.com/WugDbSUbNd
