Ahead of Clinton fundraiser, flying monkey posters take flight

Creepy flying monkeys for Hillary in 2016!

A series of anti-Clinton signs appeared in and around Brentwood, Calif., apparently the work of right-wing street artist SABO, who made news earlier this month when his artwork appeared in the days leading up to a Democratic fundraiser at Gwyneth Paltrow's home attended by President Obama.

This new artwork depicts what looks like one of the flying monkeys from "The Wizard of Oz." The monkey wears a blue and red uniform, sports a devilish grin, and holds a sign that reads, "Hillary 2016."

The not-so-subtle implication: Clinton is like the Wicked Witch of the West, and the flying monkeys are doing her bidding. No word on who or what is Toto.

The stunt comes days before Clinton's scheduled appearance at a fundraiser at Brentwood's Tavern restaurant. The banners and signs were reportedly painted over.

The artist spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about the perceived censorship.

"They didn't even try to remove them, and they made it look as ugly as hell. They would rather have this mess than anti-leftist art. Says a lot about them."

The artwork may be erased, but SABO can take comfort that the flying monkeys took flight on Twitter, where they'll hang forever.
