Wisconsin Democrats were tossed from a farmers market after a vile volunteer handed out “Is he dead yet?” bracelets — including to a young girl — in an apparent reference to President Trump.
The Winnebago County Democratic Party will no longer host a table at the Oshkosh Farmers Market as incendiary rhetoric against Trump and his allies has ramped up since the Republican returned to the White House this year.
The latest instance of menacing words came when a volunteer handed out the hateful bracelet to an 8-year-old girl, who then showed it to her mother on Sunday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
The little girl’s mother, Katy Neubauer, was left stunned by the bracelet and dropped it back in the basket at the committee’s table, which also had other anti-Trump material, according to the newspaper.
“It’s hate speech. I mean, it’s literally wishing death on somebody, which isn’t appropriate in any scenario,” the outraged mom told Fox 11 News.
Oshkosh Farmers Market manager Michelle Schmid-Schultz told the station it was the local Democratic committee that handed out the bracelets, which yielded about 10 complaints from patrons and broke market rules.
She said local party officials and the market agreed that the Winnebago Dems won’t be back for the final two markets wrapping up the summer season.
The “Is he dead yet” bracelet also stoked outrage from Republicans across the state.
“Last month, Charlie Kirk was tragically assassinated due to political violence, and it is appalling that a Wisconsin Democratic County Party would continue to spread hate and incite further violence,” Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is running to lead the Badger State, charged in a statement, according to WisPolitics.
“Wisconsin is better than this. I call on the Wisconsin Democrat Party to revoke this person’s party membership and ensure they are never involved in future events.”
But the state Democratic committee quickly disavowed the bracelet.
“The materials brought out by a volunteer without the authorization of the Party are not in line with our values and we regret this happened,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Philip Shulman said in a statement to the Journal Sentinel.
The local party did not immediately return an email seeking comment Wednesday.
