“Hillary Clinton. Unethical. Untrustworthy. Unqualified.”

These billboards will go up in the area during the DNC.
PA GOPFor the next seven days, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania is trolling the Democratic National Convention on two major Pennsylvania throughways.
According to a release, the PA GOP has bought up two billboards for the next seven days by the Essington Exit of I-95 North and the Plymouth Meeting exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike heading eastbound. The billboards read: “Hillary Clinton. Unethical. Untrustworthy. Unqualified to be president.”
“From her disastrous foreign policy failures to her flippant attitude toward protecting America’s most classified secrets,” Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason said in a statement announcing the ads. “Hillary Clinton has proven that she is too unethical, untrustworthy, and unqualified to be our next President.”
In addition, the Republican party is setting up its Counter Convention at the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia and the city’s Republican Party is throwing a party titled: “Welcome to Philly, Hillary — You’ll Fit Right in! (Philly GOP DNC Party).”
