Basket of Deplorables - Sunday WI Badger Edition

Costumes of fans at Badger football game portray Trump leading Obama by noose



Costumes around Halloween at football games are a common sight, but a noose around the neck of a President Obama character being led by a fan with a Donald Trump mask certainly caught the attention of University of Wisconsin officials and millions of others.

A fan sporting the Trump mask attending Saturday's game at Wisconsin vs. Nebraska clutched a rope with a noose around the neck of an another fan wearing a mask of Obama, the nation's first black president, in prison garb. At times, the second fan donned a facial likeness of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Herb said stadium staff members approached the man responsible for the get-ups and "asked him to remove the offensive components" of the costumes. "He complied."

from the picture it looks like the fans ignored him. On the other hand, it makes me wonder about WI. But that has been going on for a while (my wondering) since Snotty Wanker and his gang took over.
