Investigators are working to remove racist, anti-Kamala Harris signs from bus stops around Denver on Thursday.
“I wish I could say I were surprised, but in a year when a Black woman could become POTUS those with hate in their heart are going to coordinate these kinds of atrocious, expensive campaigns to stir division,” Denver City Councilwoman Shontel Lewis said in a statement on X.
Photos posted by Lewis show signs screwed onto a Regional Transportation District bus stop pole at Colfax Avenue and Garfield Street, located outside of National Jewish Health and just west of Colorado Boulevard.
The bus stop sits on the north edge of Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood.
One white sign reads “Blacks must sit at the back of the bus. Kamala’s migrants sit in the front.” Another yellow caution sign on the same pole warns riders of “Kamala’s illegals,” with imagery of people running that is supposed to mimic immigrants crossing the border.
The caution sign is designed after real road signage that used to be posted in California, warning drivers near the San Diego border to watch for migrants running across the freeway. The last of the signs was removed in 2018.
Lewis said officials with RTD, the Denver Department of Transportation and the Denver Police Department are working to remove all the reported signs.
