The conservative artist provocateur who calls himself Sabo and is known for his campaign poster-style send-ups of Democratic candidates and fundraisers decided to take his act on the road Monday afternoon.
With both President Barack Obama and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton scheduled to attend multiple fundraising events in Los Angeles this week, Sabo rented a LED traffic warning-style billboard Monday afternoon and programmed it with electronic messages such as, “Expect Delays June 18-19," "Democrats Begging 4 Money." Other messages included (misspelled), "Blame Tobie [sic] Maguire," "Blame Chuck Lorre,” "Hillary Back Begging," among other jibes.
The artist and his crew towed the flashing sign up the 405 freeway, through Brentwood and over to the Pacific Palisades, where at least two fundraisers will be held later this week.
The artist also slipped in a plug for his personal choice for president: "Ted Cruz 2016."
Obama is returning to Los Angeles on June 18 for two DNC fundraiser at the homes of actor/producer Tyler Perry and Two and a Half Men producer Lorre. The president's trip will coincide with Clinton's latest fundraising visit to Hollywood on June 19. Her events include a $2,700-per-person event at the home of Spider-Man actor Toby Maguire and his wife, Jennifer Meyer, and a $2,700-per-person event at the home of HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo and his husband, Sonny Ward.
