Hacked Seattle road sign says ‘Impeach the Bastard’

SEATTLE — A hacker broke into an electronic roadwork sign early Wednesday morning in Seattle, replacing the normal traffic suggestion with a political message.

The sign read, “Impeach the Bastard,” a reference to Congress’ impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

A viewer alerted Q13 News to the sign on 35th Avenue NE in the Bryant neighborhood and sent a picture.

The Seattle Department of Transportation says the sign was rented to the contractor National Barricade. A spokesperson for National Barricade says someone broke into the sign’s controls early this morning and changed the wording.

7. Only 8% voted for Trump. When I was walking around the day

after the election, in a stupor, I gradually realized that everyone I ran into was in the same state of shock.

That helped a little bit. I don't know how I'd manage if I was surrounded by Trumpers.
