Arizona GOP billboards implore voters to 'EAT LESS KITTENS'

At first glance, new billboards in Arizona look like Chick-fil-A’s iconic “Eat Mor Chikin” promos. But instead of cows, the billboards erected Tuesday feature four cats dressed in cow costumes.

“EAT LESS KITTENS,” the billboards say. “Vote Republican!”

Arizona’s Republican Party announced Tuesday that it had designed about a dozen of the billboards in the Phoenix area in response to false claims shared by some top Republicans that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating Americans’ pets. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who plans to visit Arizona on Thursday, amplified those claims at an ABC News debate on Tuesday, despite police telling local news outlets that there was no evidence of anyone eating pets.

In a news release, the Arizona GOP said the billboards are “a humorous, but sobering reminder of the stakes involved in the fight for secure borders and safe communities.”

who affiliates politically with the Republican party. It needs to go the way of the Whigs.

My tag line means it. Not one Republican for any elective office. Not one.
