Amid Complaints, Fayette County GOP Takes Down Dartboard Pasted With Pictures Of Democratic ‘Squad”

The Republican Party booth at the Fayette County Fair is drawing criticism over their carnival games, County Republicans have taken down a fair booth dartboard pasted with pictures of the Squad amid public complaints. The dartboard was filled with taped-on pictures of first-term Democratic congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Talib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. The board sparked controversy Monday, after a fair attendee posted about the dartboard on Facebook, which led to complaints filed with the booth organizers and the fair. In a press release, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party said, “Members of the Fayette County Republican Party soled a family-friendly afternoon with a gross display of hate and intolerance targeting minority women. The GOP officials simulated violence against four Congresswomen of color by placing photos of their faces on a dartboard and encouraging passerby to throw darts at them, but county republicans denied that the dartboard had anything to do with race, or that it was violent.
