A controversial billboard in New Jersey that dubbed President Trump an “idiot” has been taken down, according to a report.
The billboard was promoting a documentary about the POTUS when it went up last week on busy Morris Avenue in Union Township.
The ad featured an image of Trump wagging his finger next to the words: “Our leader the idiot” and “A new film-coming soon.”
According to WCBS 880, the man who bought the billboard space – Neil Harrison, a self-proclaimed political activist from The Bronx – claims the ad was supposed to stay up through Sept. 9 and nixing it breaches his contract.
“No warning, they just made a decision under pressure that they were going to take it down, and that’s that,” Harrison told the radio station. “The film is due out in December, and it’s crunch time for me.”
Harrison has said that he shelled out about $1,000 to rent space on the billboard from Outfront Media to promote his anti-Trump project.
He told the radio station that he would take a refund from Outfront and put up another billboard in another place.
Natalie Pineiro, spokeswoman for Union Township, got hundreds of e-mails and phone calls from ticked-off residents demanding the billboard be taken down. She told WCBS 880: “No matter where you fall along the political spectrum, it’s something that most people agree is more so not a matter of somebody expressing their opinion but rather the way in which it was expressed.”
“A lot of people talk about all publicity is good publicity, and that’s just not the case here.”
