BIRMINGHAM (WVTM) — If you’ve driven down Red Mountain Expressway recently, you might have noticed an interesting billboard. It calls President Donald Trump out for the number of times he’s accused of being listed in the Epstein files.
The billboard was recently taken down, but there are plans for it to be back up as soon as Tuesday.
This isn’t the first time the woman behind the organization Bright Blue Dot has done this. Joellyn Beckham, who leads the grassroots organization, put up another billboard back in July. That one asked, “What the secret was, big fella?” With the Epstein files released now, she’s calling for accountability from Trump.
The most recent billboard accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files 38,000 times. Beckham feels that number is jaw-dropping and damning. She hopes the billboard will encourage people to have conversations about what’s happening or educate them of issues they may not be aware of.
“Hopefully people can walk away from what we post and know that’s why it’s important,” Beckham said. “It’s not jaded by one side or the other. It’s just the facts, and it’s important that people know the facts when they’re voting and making decisions that come back to them—whether children or the economy. It’s just really, really important.”
During an interview with journalists on Monday, Trump addressed the Epstein files. He told reporters that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t want him to become president and said he has nothing to do with him.
“I have nothing to hide, I’ve been exonerated,” Trump said. “I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. They went in hoping that they’d find it. They found just the opposite. I’ve been totally exonerated.”
WVTM 13 reached out to the state Republican Party, elected officials, and to a political expert, but hasn’t heard back yet. As for the billboard, keep your eyes open on your commute to and from work Tuesday to see if it’s back up.
