Debate rages over controversial anti-Trump billboard in Phoenix

PHOENIX - A controversial billboard has sparked quite the conversation since appearing above Phoenix’s Grand Avenue on Friday.

The billboard, which stands at 11th Avenue and Grand, features a glaring President Donald Trump flanked by mushroom clouds and dollar signs made to resemble swastikas.

"I think a lot of people are feeling this way and I'm just trying to express what I think is on a lot of people's minds these days," the billboard's artist, Karen Fiorito, previously told 12 News.

Fiorito said she’s received death threats, but billboard owner, Beatrice Moore, said it would remain up until Trump leaves office.
