Christian lawmakers get your coat hangers quote is projected onto building where he works

WEST VIRGINIA After comments he posted in a local Facebook group sparked outrage, Parkersburg City Councilman Eric Barber had second thoughts and deleted them. But theres always someone with a screenshot. Now, a local LGBT activist group is making sure more people know what Barber, who is an outspoken Christian, said.
Like many far-right Christians, Barber sees Brett Kavanaughs confirmation to the Supreme Court as a victory in the fight against abortion. After news of Kavanaughs confirmation circulated, Barber expressed his delight on a comment thread in a Facebook group for locals, writing, Better get youre (sic) coathangers ready liberals.
Barber was presumably praising, or making a mockery of extreme measures some think women may go to if Roe v. Wade is overturned. He deleted the comment soon after.
The Friendly Atheists David G. McAfee reported that one member of the group managed to get a screen shot of the comment and shared it in a post calling Barber out.
Shocker, that comment didnt take too long to get deleted, a group member only identified as Tom wrote.
Any elected official who speaks this way, especially in a public forum, should be stripped of their seat immediately, he added.

Is there an image of the projection? I can't see one in the article, just the text. He needs his nose rubbed in this one.
Maybe project some stats, too.
