Police in Hamilton, Texas, confiscated a political sign from Marion Stafford's lawn following a complaint about the sign on Facebook by state Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. The sign showed an elephant with its trunk up the dress of a female saying "Help." Miller said the female was supposed to be a daughter of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Stafford denies that. She says cops threatened to arrest her if she didn't give them the sign. City officials say she was the one who asked them to remove the sign.
