Harris supporters brave threats, theft and vulgarity in southern Utah's Trump country
St. George • They may be the stuff of rumors, like Bigfoot or UFOs, but Democrats and Harris-Walz supporters in heavily Republican Washington County actually exist — and they are making themselves seen and heard this election season.
Amid all the oversized Donald Trump flags and “Make America Great Again” signs displayed loudly and proudly across the county, smaller Kamala Harris signs are cropping up at some intersections, in front yards and on home windows — or, in Ann Roberts’ case, on her person.
Roberts said she was wearing a “Harris 2024? T-shirt at a concert in St. George earlier this month when a man in the audience scolded her and suggested she should wear something more appropriate.
“This is Trump country, and you are just living in it,” Roberts said the man told her. “You should be grateful for the privilege of being allowed to live here.”
