Washington DC’s District Department of Transportation denounced a transit ad that was spotted near the Capitol that likened MAGA hat wearers to garbage.
“Keep DC trash free,” reads the incendiary ad spotted by Capitol Hill Baptist Church pastor Caleb Morell.
The ad featured a red circle with a line through it over an image of a MAGA hat wearer holding a book labeled “Project 2025.”
The bottom of the ad includes the logo for the District of Columbia Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City program.
DDOT DC quickly denied any role in the creation of the politically charged ad.
“This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our teams are currently working to remove them,” DDOT DC wrote on X in response to Morell’s post.
“If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311.”
When asked for comment, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office referred The Post to DDOT DC’s response.
