Bremerton man feels 'attacked' over Trump/Pence sign

A Bremerton man feels frustrated after the city warned him a sign in his front yard doesn't meet city code. He believes it's what's on the sign that has some people feeling uncomfortable and says this is about free speech.

Kevin Chambers says it started as a joke when he left town for work and a friend threatened there would be a sign in his yard when he got back. When Chambers returned home in November a wood-framed "Trump/Pence" campaign sign was front and center.

“I’m more of a Democrat than I am a Republican. I'm not a Trump supporter, and I thought he was being funny,” Chambers said.

Chambers laughed and planned to take it down. Things changed when someone showed him a message from a community group where people said they wanted it gone and talked about throwing eggs at his house.

If you were a real Democrat you wouldn't want that sign in your yard.

"You say you 'plan' to take down the sign, Mr. Chambers? Why haven't you done so yet?"

"Ummm......"
