“It was pretty consistent. It was the same sticker. At one point, they put so many stickers on the Democrats’ office that it was high up and hard to reach” said Briggs. “I guess it’s not a malicious hate crime, but it’s the start. They want you to know they’re not wrong for being racist,” said Briggs.
