'Nasty woman' and Ken Bone: US election's viral stars a hit for Halloween
NEW YORK: With the U.S. election just days away, Americans can expect to see an occasional "nasty woman" and "basket of deplorables" knocking on doors this Halloween alongside the usual parade of goblins, ghosts and ghouls.
Revelers are planning costumes inspired by the campaign for the Novmber 8 election, seeking catharsis and humor at the end of the often bitterly fought White House race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Ted Wright, a marketing executive from Atlanta, said he and his wife were planning to dress as a "bad hombre" and "nasty woman," respectively, references to Trump's much-ridiculed remarks about some Mexican immigrants and Clinton during a presidential debate on October 19.
"This is one of those elections where its very difficult to discuss in polite company," said Wright, 49, a Republican who said he would not vote for Trump. "That is why were going 'bad hombre' and were going 'nasty woman.'"
Hannah Hemperly, a 22-year-old recent college graduate, said she planned to dress up as a "nasty woman" as well.
