DC scrambling to remove city transit ads likening MAGA supporters to garbage after uproar
[NYPOST] Washington DC's District Department of Transportation denounced a transit ad that was spotted near the Capitol that likened MAGA hat wearers to garbage.

''Keep DC trash free,'' reads the incendiary ad spotted by Capitol Hill Baptist Church pastor Caleb Morell.

The ad featured a red circle with a line through it over an image of a MAGA hat wearer holding a book labeled ''Project 2025.''

The bottom of the ad includes the logo for the District of Columbia Department of Public Works and the Mayor's Office of the Clean City program.

DDOT DC quickly denied any role in the creation of the politically charged ad.

''This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our teams are currently working to remove them,'' DDOT DC wrote on X in response to Morell's post.

''If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311.''

When asked for comment, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's office referred The Post to DDOT DC's response.

It is unclear who was behind the advert, but it wasn't the first time a US city was plagued by dubious political ads

In the fall, for example, the artist known as @winstontseng on Instagram fessed up to being behind art falsely showing the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
He claimed that he wasn't aware how the fugazi ads depicting Harris in team attire got displayed near bus stops in the City of Brotherly Love.

#4 That definitely looks like Biden wearing a MAGA hat. Maybe whoever made the posters couldn't find orange ink.

#7 Probably think they are being clever about Trump rolling up in a trash truck, it actually being an iconic quickening of the pace on the final lap.

#8 It'd frost their balls if Congress stopped all funding for DC DOT.

#9 Under Article 1, Congress retains the right to review and overturn laws created by the council and intervene in local affairs.

Maybe, it would be good if they did.
