“They love it,” said Dumas, 47, who in Tucson sold shirts insulting Harris with a misspelling of a derogatory term for a sexually promiscuous woman. “I can’t keep up with the count.”


Business was similarly brisk 2,400 miles away in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where vendors hawked $25 versions of the shirts (“Say No to the Hoe”) down a line of attendees who smiled and snapped photos. Sold: to two parents who gave the shirt to their 13-year-old daughter. Sold: to a woman who wouldn’t wear it herself but knew her in-law would like it. Sold: to the Mikhailovs, who let their 14-year-old put it on and laughed as she talked about its meaning."
