The disagreement over the painting seemed to come to an end last month when the Architect of the Capitol concluded it violated rules for art hanging in the U.S. Capitol.

I’m good with an artist’s rendering of Barack Obama and Reggie Love in the back of a limo snorting cocaine and doing their thing. Hang that right next to Clay’s cop painting, call it even.

There is an Easy Way to fix this, Simply pass a RULE in the House that All Minority Party Members display the Painting or a Copy thereof ON THEIR OFFICE DOOR!

Well if that is the issue that the Democrats want to fall on their sword over then let’s not stand in their way.

This repulsive sicko has no time to do his duty for Missouri due to 100% of this focus on a child’s disgusting refrigerator art. Typical demoncrat.

Representative Hunter should have just taken it down, placed it in the dumpster or trash and not say anything about it.
