Man hangs Clinton in effigy along I-5, says 'Vote Trump'

SUTHERLIN, Ore. – A display hanging near Interstate 5 near Sutherlin is causing a stir.

A black, rubber wet-suit sporting women's clothing and a blonde wig is hanging from a noose attached to a crane.

A sign was also present that reads “Vote Trump." Another sign makes references to treason; another reads "Uranium One."

The man who put it up, Billy Pitner, says Hillary Clinton has committed a crime that he wanted to bring attention to.

Though not quite that far south. That part of the state is pretty rednecked.

Not far from Roseburg where there was a mass shooting. Their sheriff is quite a believer in conspiracy theories.

13. The sheriff was a turd. He wanted to run the media so the media just dropped him

Leave the urban areas here and you will find lots of deplorables.

There's an elderly hippie doc down from me, but literally 3 or 4 out of 5 of the people around us within 30 miles are deplorable. So much hatred and argumentative hate speech. You can't go a mile without seeing Trump signs in yards and strange homemade signs about something they claim to be angry about. I saw one guy had 3 or 4 signs posted to the telephone pole. I ignore them because I see the Trump signs. There's so much hatred in the country. Not from everyone, of course, I'm here and so are a decent quarter of people. It's the 3/4 which make city people say no thanks to coming out of the city!

12. Lots of Pro-Trump signs in rural Cascadia, but Oregon and Washington will go for Clinton.
