Booth Removed From Fair Over Merchandise
The Ashland County Fair is supposed to be a slice of Americana — corn dogs, 4H exhibitions, tractor pulls, and kids high on cotton candy. It’s where families gather to celebrate rural life, tradition, and community.
It’s not supposed to be a place where visitors — including children — are exposed to open displays of violent, hate-laced political propaganda. And yet, that’s exactly what happened when the Ashland County Democrat Party booth turned what should have been a community celebration into a grotesque showcase of bloodlust and bile.
Among the merchandise displayed at their booth? Buttons with phrases like “Is he dead yet?” and “One day, we will wake up to his obituary.” These were directed, of course, at Donald J. Trump, the 45th president and the presumed 47th, should the American people decide to return him to office next year. The buttons also featured “8647” — a barely-coded threat. In street slang, “86” means to murder. “47” refers to the 47th president. This isn’t innuendo. It’s incitement.
BREAKING: The Democrat Party Booth at the Ashland County, Ohio Fair was just KICKED OUT after displaying buttons with “8647” and “is he dead yet” in reference to kiIIing Trump.
Democrats just can’t help themselves. They constantly promote violence.

The timing of this twisted display couldn’t have been more telling. Just days after conservative leader Charlie Kirk was assassinated while promoting civil discourse and unity, we’re seeing again what we’re up against: not just a difference in opinion, but a radicalized ideology that equates political disagreement with a license to dehumanize, to fantasize about death, and to mainstream hate. It is depraved — and it is dangerous.
To their credit, the fair organizers responded decisively. Upon being made aware of the disgusting display, they acted swiftly, ordering the booth to pack up and leave the premises. Their statement was clear: this was not a political decision, but a moral one. “We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant,” they wrote on Facebook. That’s the kind of leadership communities need — one that recognizes when a line has been crossed and refuses to shrug it off under the false banner of “free speech.”
Even after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and two attempted assassinations of President Trump, Democrats are still out for blood.
Ashland County is one of the reddest in Ohio— yet Democrats handed out buttons at the county fair saying: “Is he dead yet?”

Sheriff Kurt Schneider confirmed that the issue is being taken seriously and forwarded to the U.S. Secret Service. Good. Because you don’t just get to joke about assassinating a former — and potentially future — president and call it political commentary. That’s not “resistance.” That’s sedition flirting with domestic terrorism. And yet it’s been tolerated, even celebrated, in far too many corners of the modern Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, America just witnessed a memorial to Charlie Kirk filled with faith, patriotism, and unity — attended by a staggering 200,000 people. It brought leaders like Donald Trump and Elon Musk back into dialogue. There was love in that crowd, real reconciliation. A stark contrast to the hate-peddling degenerates behind a folding table in Ashland.
