‘I Was Seething’: Mother Describes Appalling Anti-Trump Bracelet Local Democrats Gave Her 8-Year-Old Daughter

A Wisconsin mother described her reaction to the moment her daughter received a bracelet asking whether President Donald Trump had died during a Thursday appearance on “The Faulkner Focus.”

Democrats escalated attacks on Trump in the closing weeks of the 2024 presidential campaign, with Vice President Kamala Harris devoting a major speech to attacking him as a threat to democracy and portraying him as “unstable” days after she called him a “fascist” during an Oct. 23 town hall on CNN after Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign. Katy Neubauer told Fox News host Harris Faulkner her 8-year-old daughter was handed the offensive bracelet by a volunteer at the booth run by the Winnebago County Democratic Party.

“We were down at the farmer’s market having a conversation, my sister-in-law next to their booth and they had free children’s books out and bubbles blowing in the wind and the kids were having a great time and we didn’t think much of it and continued our conversation,” Neubauer said. “And out of the corner of my eye I see the man leaning over and giving one of our children a bracelet and I kinda waited for it.”

“I thought oh, this will be fun, you know, whatever. But the child runs over, hands it to us and we both look down and my sister-in-law says I don’t really know what it says and I said it says, ‘Is he dead yet?’ and we both kind of look at each other in shock and I walk back over to the table and hand it back to him and I had said we don’t wear hate speech here,” Neubauer continued. “And I had to walk away because I was seething.”

A Rutgers survey showing 56% of “left-of-center” respondents saying that assassinating Trump would be at least partially justifiable was released in April. Neubauer said that after a while, she returned to confront the people at the booth.

“I went and continued and bought a few more items and then I decided to confront them a second time. So, at that point I started going through the bracelets and found others that contained not-so-nice language, including 8647, which I’m sure you’ve heard that one before,” Neubauer said, with Faulkner responding, “Yeah.”

Former FBI Director James Comey posted, then deleted, a photo of seashells on a beach that had the “8647” meme, which has connotations of wishing for Trump to be killed.

“I said are any of these appropriate for children? He said no, I suppose they’re not. And I said okay, then why are you handing them to my 8-year-old child?” Neubauer continued. “I read off a couple others to them and he picked up the basket and said here, I will remove them then. I said okay, that would be a good start. So that’s how that came about.” (RELATED: ‘That’s Assassination Prep Language!’: Journalist Shuts Down Dem Rep On CNN Over Rhetoric)

The manager of the Oshkosh Farmers Market, Michelle Schmid-Schultz, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the Winnebago County Democratic Party’s booth at the market had been banned for the rest of the 2025 season, and that its fate in future years would be decided at a November meeting. Faulkner asked Neubauer what brought about the market’s decision to kick the Democrats out.

“I called the farmers market manager as I was walking home,” Neubauer said. “We live very close to downtown, our kids actually have a farmer’s market booth every other week and we’re down there a lot and we know the manager and she was very kind and she said you aren’t the first person to call and complain about their booth today. In fact, there were about ten complaints total that particular day.”

The Winnebago County Democratic Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
