It seems like everyone at this week's Republican National Convention is ??? ??????? ???????? ???? ????? ?????????trying to make a statement, but one activist put her money where her mouth is.
A particularly aggressive vendor, whose specialty was shirts that read "Hillary Sucks, but Not Like Monica" on the front and "Trump That Bitch" on the back, reportedly also yelled those phrases over and over near the arena.
It really bothered Sarah Wellington.

The activist told Glamour that she had, "grown tired of hearing the man yell such a disturbing sentiment again and again—and she confronted him."

Even though vendors continued to sell offensive souvenirs, Wellington's stand against misogyny hopefully did not go unnoticed.
As Glamourpointed out, Sarah Wellington, "wasn’t a Donald Trump supporter, and she wasn’t a fan of Hillary Clinton either." She just did not want to idly witness misogyny.
