(VitalNews.org) – Signs that show “hateful and discriminatory” messaging directed towards Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential Candidate, have been spreading across an American city. These signs were posted in bus stops across Denver, Colorado overnight, according to the Regional Transportation District.
The sign read, “Blacks must sit at the back of the bus. Kamala’s migrants sit in the front.” The Denver Police Department is now investigating the incident as a bias-motivated crime. They stated that they are “collecting evidence with the goal of holding the perpetrator accountable.”
On Thursday at around 5 a.m., a bus operator reported seeing a sign attached to the bus stop’s pole. Similar signs were also reported at the Chicago Transit Authority bus stop.
One local person who says they are a Republican activist has confessed to being the person responsible for the crime, but it’s still being investigated. Governor Jared Polis stated on X that “There is no room for hate in our state.”
“These horrible and racist images — funded by unknown groups — are meant to stoke fear and hate in our communities,” the post said. “I thank Denver Police for working quickly to end the defacement of public property and thank our Department of Public Safety for reaching out to Denver Police to assist. Coloradans reject this hate-fueled rhetoric and we won’t tolerate it — our fight to build a Colorado for All continues.”
RTD agreed with Polis’ statement and said that there is “no place for racism and discrimination at RTD.”
