Roger Stone, the former Nixon operative and Trump adviser, and Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and Infowars operator, launched the latest in their line controversial T-shirts on Thursday.
The design features a photograph of Bill Clinton above the word “Rape”. The image mimics the colour wash of Shepherd Fairey’s famous 2008 Obama campaign “Hope” image.
A crowd of little over a dozen people greeted Jones and Stone with chants of “lock her up” – a much recited phrase at the convention demanding the imprisonment of Hillary Clinton.

The shirt, which around half a dozen attendees went on to purchase, is the latest in a line of offensive memorabilia on sale at the RNC and Trump rallies around the country.
T-shirts and badges showing Trump punching Clinton in the face, Clinton locked behind bars and calling Clinton a “bitch”, have been sold at dozens of street vendors in Cleveland over the convention, and have been seen on the lapels of delegates inside the convention centre.
