Vice President Kamala Harris’ signs were recently vandalized outside The Little Gay Pub in Logan Circle, Washington, D.C. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras, and the owner of the pub, Dito Sevilla, expressed his disappointment, saying that elections can bring out the worst in people.
This was not the first time the vandal targeted the signs, as a similar incident occurred a couple of weeks ago when the vandal wrote ‘HMS’ all over Kamala’s face. The same person struck again on a Saturday, this time X-ing out her face. However, Sevilla mentioned that despite the financial loss due to the vandalism, he remains undeterred and is determined to put the signs back up.
The signs were displayed in the pub’s outdoor seating area, and Sevilla emphasized that while people are entitled to their opinions, defacing public and private property is not the way to express dissent. The mysterious meaning behind ‘HMS’ written on the signs remains unknown, but the police have reportedly arrested the person responsible for the vandalism.
Sevilla’s resilience and determination to continue displaying the signs despite the vandalism reflect a strong commitment to supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. He stated that although vandalism may occur, he is eager to restore the signs and show his support for Harris.
The incident at The Little Gay Pub serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting differing opinions and engaging in civil discourse rather than resorting to destructive actions. The arrest of the perpetrator sends a message that such behavior will not be tolerated in the community.
As the signs are set to be put back up, the community shows its support for Harris and stands against acts of vandalism that seek to silence voices and undermine democratic values. The incident may have caused a setback, but it has also highlighted the resilience and determination of individuals like Dito Sevilla, who refuse to be intimidated by such acts of vandalism.
