But one sign in particular is causing controversy within the Bucks County borough.
Signs that say “Bristol for Harris Walz” have led to accusations from some residents that the borough’s leadership officially supports Kamala Harris for president. The residents have expressed outrage on social media and made several phone calls to borough officials complaining about the signs.Bristol Council President Ralph DiGuiseppe addressed the controversy during a monthly meeting on Monday.
“I just want to clear the air for anyone that has any questions regarding the political signs placed throughout town,” he said. “They were not purchased or installed by this borough council.”“Considering the current political climate, these signs were just a really, really bad idea,” De Lancey said during Monday’s meeting. “I think national politics is poison right now and it’s something that we have to avoid at all costs on a local level.
The signs – which were paid for by a group of Bristol residents -- include a message on the back which states, “This is an independent expenditure. Not affiliated with or paid by the candidate.”“I drive a lot throughout the county and throughout the state,” Leinheiser told NBC10. “And I see, 'Pennsylvania is Trump country.' I see, 'Bucks County for Trump.' So, I don’t think anything of that. We’re a group of people who are Bristolians and we’re for Harris.
The group told NBC10 they don’t plan on taking the signs down despite the controversy. They also expressed disappointment when they learned that a town resident took it upon themselves to remove the word “Bristol” from one of the signs.One resident, who is a Trump supporter, said she simply ignores the signs. One bar owner even poked fun at the controversy and posted a sign that states, “Bristol for Beer & Hot Dawgs.
