Arizona artist receiving death threats from Deplorables over controversial anti-Trump billboard

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The artist behind an Arizona billboard attacking President Donald Trump claims she is now the subject of death threats after news and photos of her creation went national.

According to AzCentral, artist Karen Fiorito knew she would get a strong reaction for her work which went up of Friday and depicts Trump accompanied by mushroom clouds and stylized Nazi swastikas combined with dollar signs. On the reverse side, the billboard displays the word “Unity” with five hands spelling out the word in sign language.

While Fiorita expected flack she didn’t anticipate the flood of threats against not only herself but her family.

“I’ve been called a communist, a Satan worshiper,” Fiorita explained. “I’ve been told I’m a ‘very, very sick person.’ I’m not sure what that means. I haven’t been answering the phone. My husband has because he’s not afraid to talk to anyone, but he told me he received a couple death threats this morning. … He said, ‘They were coming to get us with their boys.’ ”

Fiorito explained that she was commissioned by a local art gallery to create the artwork that was blown up to billboard size and displayed in downtown Phoenix during an art festival.

2. Of course she is. The alt-right hands out death threats like candy.

I hope she can ignore them...but they're frightening.

4. boy-potus puppets

are cowards, inadequate in the critical thinking skills set and just plain deplorable. I pray to all creators of this existence and level of consciousness to protect her and her right to say what she feels and us too, everyday. 4 years of this nightmare in store unless something happens too prove what a real clear and present danger these clowns in the WH are to all decent americans.

I do know all fascist governments start by killing the artists critical of their regimes and all art-whether stage-film-canvas-written or spoken OUT LOUD. Then they go after the teachers and all intellectual critics, then they get rid of those they see as drains on society, the mentally ill, SENIORS, the poor and All who need constant medical care, older vets by denying them food, water and a decent living standard. They are coming for us.
