(WWJ) President Joe Biden's visit to Michigan this week put more than just the infrastructure bill in the spotlight.
It also put "F— Joe Biden” chants and signs front and center in public and the media.
A couple of thousand people were gathered at the height of Tuesday's event, at M-59 and Michigan Ave. in Howell, ahead of Biden's speech at a union training facility down the street.
A loud crowd — some in MAGA hats, waiving "Trump Won" flags — greeted the president as his motorcade rolled through the intersection.
One sign read: "Stop the spending," while numerous others displayed the F word ahead of the president's name.
Speaking to WWJ's Mike Campbell, Livingston County Democrat Party Chair Judy Daubenmeier said the “F bomb" does not belong in public.
"I have strong feelings about Donald Trump, but I don't scream and yell," Daubenmeier said. "And I think we have to get back some of our inhibitions about that; some of our common sense about how we treat other people."
Cathy Kubik, who was wearing a “Women for Trump” shirt, told Campbell the
"F— Biden" message comes from anger, frustration, and a sincere belief that Biden is possibly permanently damaging the country.
But Kubik isn't a big fan of the off-color slogan. She said "F— Biden" is a bit uncivil, and they should try chanting something else.
"Just 'Go away, Biden! Resign!' They should have, instead of that word, 'Resign, Biden,' in my opinion."
And, just to clarify: "They don't want to have sex with him, they want him to get out of town," Kubik said.
Trisha Paff of Ann Arbor, who was in Howell to support the president, kept a safe distance from the cussing crowd.
"I'm a little nervous," she said. "I think there's a high concentration of people who are very angry and unstable, and possibly even armed."
