Fort Bend Owner Of Anti-Trump Bumper Sticker Is Now Selling Them


Photo via Karen Cook Fonseca's Facebook
Karen Fonseca, right, and her husband Mike Fonseca, left, said Monday Nov. 20 that she won’t be intimidated and will continue standing up for her free-speech rights.


A woman whose pickup truck displays an expletive-filled message to President Donald Trump is now selling the anti-Trump bumper stickers, according to KHOU.

Karen Fonseca and her children are planning on selling the anti-Troy Nehls bumper stickers. Each one will go for $15.

Fonseca said Monday that Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls “messed with the wrong person” when deputies arrested her Thursday on an old, unrelated warrant for fraud.

Nehls posted a photo of the truck on Facebook on Wednesday in an effort to identify the driver after receiving complaints. Nehls initially considered a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, but the local district attorney said he didn’t think it would be a prosecutable case.

I agree. In some areas, it would be against the law, actually. Public profanity, nuisance. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #9

He'd look bad enough if he were right, but this level of stupid combined with wrong is just something else.

While it is her right to display a message, I don't think that is the type of language I would want kids and my parents/grandparents seeing in public like that

Sorry, CP, I'm not trying to be snarky, but that's not his line.

Patrick Henry was the "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death" dude.

Jefferson and Madison just detested him; absolutely detested him. Patrick Henry advocated that citizens be taxed to pay the salaries of preachers. Jefferson once wrote Madison that the greatest prayer he could think of was one calling for the death of Patrick Henry.

I'll find the post here.

Patrick Henry was our first governor; Thomas Jefferson was our second. Waiting on deck: Ralph Northam.

See ya.

Besides that, unless you live in a blue area, your car is likely to be damaged by Trumpers.

While Harris (Houston) and Ft Bend counties went for Clinton, I don't want to risk some RWNJ going after my car or me!
