An advertising company removed a billboard posted in Licking County showing a fake image of Vice President Kamala Harris after a spokesperson said they were made aware of its "vulgar" nature.

The billboard, visible heading westbound on Ohio 16 in Newark, showed a fake, provocative image of Harris about to engage in a sex act. Former President Donald Trump, Harris’ opponent for president, was also on the billboard in a separate image that described him as the defender of the people. The Dispatch is not publishing an image of the billboard because of its crude nature.

Clayton, a spokesperson for Kennedy Outdoor Advertising who declined to share their last name for fear of threats, told The Advocate the company removed the billboard Sunday night after learning about its sexual nature. It had been up since at least Friday afternoon.

Clayton confirmed that RK Towing, a Newark-based towing service, paid for the billboard. An email shared with The Advocate shows RK Towing giving Kennedy Outdoor Advertising permission to disclose that it did so.

An advertising company removed a large billboard along an Ohio highway that depicted Vice President Kamala Harris in a vulgar way.

The billboard showed a fake image of the Democratic presidential nominee about to engage in a sex act surrounded by text that reads: “Kamala can’t talk right now. She’s at a baby shower.” It had been posted along a highway on Friday in Licking County, Ohio, but was removed on Sunday, Kennedy Outdoor Advertising told The Newark Advocate.

A Kennedy Outdoor Advertising spokesperson told the outlet the billboard was taken down “once it was brought to our attention how vulgar the advertisement actually was.”
