Ashland County sheriff considering criminal charges over Democrats' Trump buttons at fair
ASHLAND, Ohio — 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."
