Fayette County Republicans have taken down a fair booth dartboard with taped-on photos of the four Democratic congresswomen collectively dubbed “the Squad” after an attendee complained, according to reports.

The dartboard featured cutouts of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), with tiny holes where darts had punctured the women’s likenesses. The offending item was taken down on Monday, July 29, after a fair attendee posted a picture of it on social media, sparking a backlash.
