Michigan auto shop's Halloween display that depicted a President Trump scarecrow holding former President Obama’s head by a rope sparks outcry and claims of racism.

DeTroyer said she took photos of the display and uploaded them to the Facebook pages of the Village of Fowlerville and Quality Coatings.

Quality Coatings owner Dave Huff declined an interview when reached by NBC News on Tuesday and said"my comments are out there." He told the Detroit Free Press he did not anticipate a backlash to the decorations because he is not racist and"no race ever went into this thing."The original display showed a Trump scarecrow holding a black rope with an Obama mask attached to it, which led some commenters to say the rope resembled a noose.

DeTroyer said that on Oct. 25, a day after she uploaded photos of the display, officials approached Huff and advised that there had been complaints posted on Facebook. A village official confirmed this account to NBC News.

But is it off the mark?

Stop using trump to promote your hate n racism...hes nothing like you...dont stop to the Democrats level

It’s ok when it’s Trumps head get over it this is not news it’s Halloween

janellefiona People have lost their racist minds. '..display showed a Trump scarecrow holding a black rope with an Obama mask attached to it.'

Lock him up

They’ve all crawled out of the woodwork, haven’t they? One has the impression that we’re now seeing that country for what it really is... Sad! It once gave the impression of being great - but that was then, this is now...

Sick and disrespectful! There are 'thousands' of other repair shops in the area.

WOW. Every day brings a new low.

The same people that applaud this denounced Kathy Griffin and the people that defended Kathy Griffin will call for the business owner’s head in the name of PC civility. The fact is, BOTH ARE VILE! NEITHER IS OK.

Let me guess. The owner is another insecure white man with a middle school mentality of trying to bully or scare others. Hmmmm, sound familiar?!

That is is beyond racism. That is sociopathic behavior. That behavior is the very worst human behavior and unfortunately there is no cure for it. All you can do is ALWAYS avoid the sociopath so that he can look around and see no one. The ultimate friendless person.

But doing the same against Trump is OK?

This actually just proves the point that Trumpettes are racist!

Where's kathygriffin ?

Typical for Michigan..that's why I left

Oh now it's racist the other way around it's funny.

How sick is this one. I certainly wouldn’t take my car there for service. The. shop is in need of some major repairs itself.
