A Republican congressman took matters into his own hands Friday and personally removed a painting depicting police officers as pigs that a colleague had allowed to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol complex.

“I was angry,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told FoxNews.com. “I’ve seen the press [reporting] on this for about a week or so. … I’m in the Marine Corps. If you want it done, just call us.”

Hunter said he walked over to the artwork Friday morning with a few colleagues and unscrewed it. He then delivered it to the office of Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., the congressman whose office had allowed the piece to be displayed...

A true patriot, just like his father. Not like Paul Ryan who as head of the House should have removed long ago if not after receiving many request from police organizations.

Ryan instead weaseled out of responding:

"At a press conference yesterday Ryan said he had not seen the letter or the artwork in question."

Yep. I was hoping Duncan Sr. would catch on as SecDef. in the Trump administration.

I’m sure that the good GOP congressmen, like Hunter, only delayed to give Ryan a chance to react, so as not to shame him with his inaction.

Now that they had to shame Ryan anyway they hopefully know in the future that Ryan is hopeless.

Were this 1800..., the picture would have been destroyed and a duel ensued! I have a feeling that Hunter would easily have won!

Seems like an interview with Clay Lacy is appropriate.

Who is the scum sucking rat bastard POS who hung it up in the FIRST place? Lacy Clay? Does that freakin’ moron have idea that this kind of stuff has been getting cops killed? 8 years of disparaging cops by this piece of garbage in the White house, by lib politicians like Mayor Duh Blasio of NYC who got two cops assassinated as they sat in their patrol car after he bashed them. It’s been a war on cops by these scumbags and THEY don’t have to deal with the ramifications do they while they are protected by COPS.

Would be even better if Hunter told the anti-American leftist liberal POS the next time the “art” needed to be taken down, it would end up in the liberal’s a$$.

....”reprehensible, repugnant and repulsive”

None can deny that this is the current state of the Democrat Party.

This is disgusting, and isn’t really Art.

I hope President Trump stops all public funding of “Art”.

"Hunter—Next Governor of California!!!"

I'm afraid it may be too late for that. Since the last Amnesty, California has been tipped over to the dark side for at least our life time.
