Candace Owens might have walked away with the prize this year, but the California DMV is already positioning themselves to win next year’s crown jewels.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has apologized for the appearance of a controversial license plate that seemed to mock the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.
According to media reports, the personalized plate, displayed on a Tesla Cybertruck, read ‘LOLOCT7’ and sparked outrage online. LOL is an abbreviation for ‘laughing out loud’.
The offensive plate was reportedly spotted in Culver City, near Los Angeles and drew attention after the activist group StopAntisemitism posted a photo of the plate last week on X.
The organization condemned the plate, which it believed was a reference to October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants carried out a surprise cross-border raid on Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages. The incursion sparked fierce retaliation from Israel against Palestinians in Gaza and led to an intense military conflict that is still ongoing.
StopAntisemitism stated the plate celebrated what the group described as “terrorism against the Jewish people” and urged the DMV to recall the plate, which represented a “vile mockery of the 1,200 innocent lives lost.”
