| Ohio - Ashland County sheriff considering criminal charges over Democrats' Trump buttons at fair |
| 2025-09-21 |
| [News5Cleveland] An Ohio sheriff is looking into criminal charges against his local Democratic Party for selling buttons that he and some Ashland County fairgoers say can be seen as threatening to President Donald Trump. When Ohioans attend the fair, they expect a family-friendly day in the sun—but some community members told us that wasn’t what they got, due to a now-shut-down booth. "It's shameful, it's unfortunate," fairgoer Dan Kaufman said. "That's the exact opposite of what we need in our country right now." The Ashland County Democratic Party’s stall was full of buttons Thursday evening, ones that disturbed Kaufman. County Sheriff Kurt Schneider said they broke fair rules. "A red ball cap with 'felon' across the top of it, 'is he dead yet?' and some other innuendo about his obituary — we're referring to the President of the United States," Schneider told us Friday. "Also, a number, 86-47, which is removal of the President, who is the 47th president of the United States." Fair officials asked the Democrats to put away those specific buttons, according to a sheriff's office report. But more complaints came, which Schneider said showed the buttons were still out there. The Dems were escorted out by law enforcement peacefully, he said. State Sen. Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) defended them. "This is censorship," DeMora said. "It's a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech." Schneider said that he reported the incident to Trump's Secret Service, and his department is looking into possible criminal charges, as he and Kaufman thought they were threatening. "Everybody can say anything, right? But then what are the consequences of what you say?" Schneider said. "This kind of nonsense, it can go somewhere else." |
