Long Island highway sign defaced to say 'Crooked Hillary'

BRENTWOOD, Long Island (WABC) -- Someone on Long Island used a highway sign to take a jab at Hillary Clinton.

The sign was supposed to say Crooked Hill Road on the Sagtikos Parkway in Brentwood, but someone apparently added three letters to spell "Crooked Hillary."

That's the term President Donald Trump used against Clinton during his campaign.

A local resident snapped the photo on Wednesday morning.

Transportation officials later removed the sign and reminded everyone that defacing traffic signs is illegal.

Trump won the election and in a recent tweet said "Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate." Clinton tweeted back "People in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe," a dig at Trump for tweeting the mystifying nonword.
