With comparisons continuing to be made between President Donald Trump and Richard Nixon, side-by-side photos of a Pittsburgh woman using nearly identical signs to protest both men have now gone viral.

The photos -- taken 43 years apart -- show 76-year-old Rosemary Duffy of Crafton protesting both presidents outside the federal building in downtown Pittsburgh.

In the first, captured after the Watergate scandal and shortly before Nixon was pardoned by President Gerald Ford in 1974, Duffy holds a sign reading "Honk if you think Nixon should go to jail."

A second photo, conceived by Duffy's son, Hugh Twyman, and taken by her granddaughter, shows the mother of five and grandmother of 10 recently holding an identical sign with Trump's name replacing Nixon's at the same location outside the federal building. 

"I believe it more now than I did with Nixon, that he [Trump] should be in jail," Duffy told PennLive by phone on Friday.

She said that at the time of the first photo she was a member of the Thomas Merton Center, a center for social justice in Pittsburgh. She joined a protest outside the federal building that had been organized by the group and found the pre-prepared "Honk if you think Nixon should go to jail" sign there.

A photo of Duffy carrying the sign was captured by a photographer with the now-defunct Pittsburgh Press and saved by her mother.

Fast forward four decades, and Duffy recently rejoined the Thomas Merton Center and local protests against President Trump and Republican Senator Pat Toomey in Pittsburgh. 

Duffy said that after her son saw her at one of the events, it occurred to him to recreate the Pittsburgh Press' Nixon protest photo, which the family had kept in a scrapbook. (PennLive asked for and was shown a copy of the original photo as published in August of 1974.) 

"I actually reproduced the sign using a projector and tracing the original onto the new sign," Twyman told PennLive. 

The resulting before-and-after photo was posted by Twyman online two weeks ago and has been widely shared since.

The Monday after he posted it, he said it had amassed "maybe 500 views and 200 shares."

A week later, and Hugh said it was being shared 1,000 times an hour from one of his social media accounts alone.

In addition to duplicating the earlier sign, Twyman said the recreation process involved convincing his mother to mimic the stony expression she had in the first photo.

"She's not in any way a sour woman, she was just in a bad mood that day for some reason. When we redid the photo, I said, 'You gotta look pissed, mom," Twyman recalled. 

He said she agreed, adding, "she was all for it."

And while the photos have garnered shares and praise online, they have also garnered criticism from Trump supporters who feel incarceration a more fitting punishment for his Democratic opponent in the presidential race, or even his Democratic predecessor in the Oval Office.

"We expected a backlash because this is such a divided country right now," Twyman said. "But the more vulgar things being said, you just have to ignore those things."

He continued: "She is adamant and sides with the fact that he [Trump] should be in jail. She's against everything he stands for, just everything." 

Indeed, Duffy cites Trump's cabinet picks, his campaign's alleged ties to Russia and his refusal to release his tax returns in summing up her opposition.    

"What's he hiding?" she added.  

As for the reaction the photos of his mother have received online, Twyman put it this way: "We try to tell her about all the shares and going viral and she says, 'Well, I don't know about all that. I just know he [Trump] should be in jail.'"

In speaking with PennLive Friday, Duffy was similarly nonchalant. 

"I'm not a social media person. I just get a kick out of the grandkids' reaction. I have 10 grandkids and they're having fun with it."

"I have 10 grandkids and they're having fun with it."

I see. You want to throw a man in jail -- despite having done nothing illegal - -- -- just to amuse your grandkids.

How about we throw your old, senile ass in jail just to amuse me?

I'll second that !

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur

Why would we put Trump in jail?

There is clear evidence both clintons should be in jail.

There is clear evidence Obama should be in jail.

But I see no evidence Trump has done something to be put in jail. He does seem to piss-off the progressives in both parties until they are foaming at the mouth. I think many of the problems is that the MSM is lying about Trump from the start.

If it wasn't for the traitors in the Republican party, Nixon rightly would have finished out his term.

My new rule for political scandals is simple WWDD.

Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
