It seems like everyone at this week's Republican National Convention is Watch Nun in Rope Hell (1984) full movietrying to make a statement, but one activist put her money where her mouth is.
A particularly aggressive vendor, whose specialty was shirts that read "Hillary Sucks, but Not Like Monica" on the front and "Trump That Bitch" on the back, reportedly also yelled those phrases over and over near the arena.
It really bothered Sarah Wellington.
Wellington is a part of the group We Will Not Be Silent, a project in which artists and activists respond to, "current social justice issues, encouraging creative, direct public actions" through the use of language on shirts and signs, according to their website.

According to Glamour, she decided to appeal, not to the man's sense of decency, but to his sense of capitalism.

The activist told Glamour that she had, "grown tired of hearing the man yell such a disturbing sentiment again and again—and she confronted him."
To get the man to leave, Wellington gave him $400 and bought all of his shirts.

Even though vendors continued to sell offensive souvenirs, Wellington's stand against misogyny hopefully did not go unnoticed.
As Glamourpointed out, Sarah Wellington, "wasn’t a Donald Trump supporter, and she wasn’t a fan of Hillary Clinton either." She just did not want to idly witness misogyny.
