Democrat Bekki Brewer Deletes Photo With '8647' Trump Sign
The Missouri candidate said the “8647” sign referred to the 25th Amendment, not political violence.
Missouri House candidate Bekki Brewer is defending herself against accusations that a "8647" sign, which appeared alongside her in a photo, called for violence against President Donald Trump. The Democratic candidate clarified that the sign's reference was to the 25th Amendment, which lays out a process for transferring presidential powers when a president becomes unable to fulfill their duties.
Brewer stated unequivocally that she opposes any form of political violence. The controversy surrounding the photo emerged after it was shared on the conservative social media account Libs of TikTok, who claimed the sign symbolized killing Trump. This led to a viral post and subsequent calls to the FBI. Brewer acknowledged that viewers might have misunderstood the context without full information but emphasized her commitment to her campaign and her community, expressing her intention to address concerns at a local forum.
