There are some truly vile pieces of anti-Hillary merchandise being sold in the US.
As the shambolic Republican National Convention (RNC) draws to a close in Ohio, private vendors have been making a killing out the front, spruiking their wares to the Hillary-hating passersby.
If you haven’t been following Donald Trump’s election campaign thus far, the attitude of his supporters is pretty neatly encapsulated by the not-at-all sexist merchandise currently lining the streets of Cleveland.
Take, for example, these t-shirts:
Okay, those ones are from an earlier rally in Buffalo, but you get the idea.
If you thought a T-shaped piece of wearable cotton with the words “Hillary sucks but not like Monica” was pretty much as sexist as it gets… just wait until you see what’s written on the back of it.
And then there’s this one, which one Instagram user praised for it’s “innovative misogyny”.
It was definitely spotted at the RNC.

Well, if you bought/wore/liked the fuck Tony Abbott hate t-shirts, then that's the standard you accept, you don't get to lower the bar for some and raise it again for others when it suites.
I don't think one single US citizen bought/wore/liked those Abbott t-shirts.
Whether it's a "F*** Tony Abbott," "Julia is Bob Brown's B****" or "Trump that B****" t-shirt, that type of gutter politics should not be condoned.
The point is you cannot accept that standard of t-shirt here and then be shocked or outraged when you see it happening overseas. I agree that this type of gutter politics should not be supported, fixing it starts here at home with our own personal choices.
There never were any of those shirts, it was all a myth.
Your comment is quite possibly the most obvious lie ever told on this site.
Politics is nasty and there's foul things coming from both sides.
I've seen people write on Ivanka's instagram posts of her babies, things like "die little demon", "rot in hell" and then worse things that I will not repeat here.
Clinton is not a victim, this is (unfortunately) part of politics.
