Leftist Brand Dhvani Shuts Down Instagram Comments amid Backlash for Anti-Trump Billboard
Athletic clothing company Dhvani has shut down its Instagram comment section after receiving backlash for its anti-Trump ad campaign.
“There is nothing more American than Freedom of Choice & Freedom of Speech,” the caption for the photo titled “Lady Liberty” read.
However, the photo depicting U.S. Marine Corps veteran Michal Mesa stepping on President Trump’s face and hogtying him was scrubbed of all comments as of Saturday morning, as have the five remaining images.
On Friday, Breitbart News reported that the ad campaign was meant to protest the Trump administration’s Title X “gag rule” that bars doctors from referring patients for abortions and blocks them from receiving care from Planned Parenthood.

Not only do they fit snug and look great, yoga pants are apparently now the latest front in the US’ culture-war. One enterprising firm is selling its pants with a picture depicting a feminist hog-tying President Donald Trump.
Strange way to sell yoga pants and sports bras, but DHVANI, the company responsible, has apparently banked on turning Trump-hate into profit. Other images depict a gaggle of angry women gagging Trump, a woman ‘shushing’ the president with her finger, and another burly woman snatching his beloved cell phone from his hands.
Each Instagram post is accompanied with a semi-factual anti-Trump polemic, and the company has promised to donate a slice of its earnings to women’s causes and abortion services.

Needless to say, the campaign stirred up some outrage. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called the images “sick,” while Donald Trump Jr wondered if the media would “dedicate the same time and outrage” to the billboard as it did this week to a meme depicting the president massacaring his enemies in the ‘fake news’ industry.
Hey @NYTimes and MSM. Since you had time to thoroughly cover a stupid and tasteless meme seen by 8 people with incredible outrage, I figured you should dedicate the same time and outrage to THIS BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE you hypocrites!

“Good thing you’re not a conservative company who posted a photo like this with Obama because ANTIFA would be burning your store down right about now,” wrote one commenter on DHVANI’s Instagram post.
The Portland, Oregon-based company – which says it sells “Activ(ist) Wear” – has stuck by its turbo-woke messaging. “We realize that some of our customers won’t agree with our activism and that’s okay with us,” the clothing firm wrote.
