The moniker, first taken up by Donald Trump during the general election race, was rejuvenated in a series of tweets on Thursday when the president criticized Clinton’s moves relating to Russia.
A Department of Transportation spokesman said, “As soon as we were notified about the graffiti yesterday morning, it was removed.” The department also noted that the act was illegal. The sign was on the Sagtikos Parkway, and no reports have come in about arrests being made over the incident.
