D.C. residents post a sign clarifying that their tiki torches are just a way of preventing mosquitos.
After white supremacists lit the streets of Charlottesville, Va. earlier this month with tiki torches while shouting Nazi slogans, some other customers of the backyard lighting option feel the need to clarify their choice.
“Don’t mind our Tiki torches, the only things we hate are mosquitos!” says one sign on the corner of 13th and V streets NW, as first noted by Popville. Below, it includes a number of hashtags: #FuckTrump, #Resist, #LGBTQ, #FightSupremacy, #Sheetcake, #FightMosquitos, #NoHate.
The sign was one of two that Annie Dragolich and Jessica Kenley hung outside the home on Saturday. A couple in their early thirties who moved into the Cardozo home a month ago, Dragolich and Kenley ordered the torches “because we have legit mosquito problems and nothing seems to help, and then we realized it was an inopportune time to have them,” says Kenley, who works for a local boutique investment bank.
