Congressman wants Hunter charged with theft of painting
The San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | January 9, 2017 | Gary Warth

A Missouri congressman is demanding criminal charges against Rep. Duncan Hunter who yanked a student’s controversial painting off the U.S. Capitol walls Friday, according to the Washington Post.

Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., said his staff met Monday with members of the Capitol Police to press theft charges against Hunter, R-Alpine, who removed the painting Friday and delivered it to Clay’s office as he left a Republican conference meeting where the artwork was discussed.

“He had no right to take that picture down,” Clay told the Post Monday just off the House floor. “It’s thievery.”

The painting, by a recent high school graduate from Clay’s district, depicts a scene of civil unrest inspired by the 2014 events in Ferguson, Mo., and other recent protests against police led by African Americans. Several figures are depicted as animals, and some pro-police activists have said the rendering evokes derogatory images of police as pigs.

Just a slight correction.
= = = = = = = =
Thanks

I was aware of the suit and know the idiot hubby took a big hit but I thought the mayor ran again BUT I must have heard her name mentioned as to her seat in the DNC and since I really don’t ‘pay attention’ to idiots and fools etc, I must have just assumed (I know, I know, Felix Unger) it was about the Mayors race.

This fool in DC is expecting an R Congress to back her assisted suicide bill, 15 per hr min wage, 6 wks(??) paid leave for husband or wife etc, and then turns around and says “”UP YOURS!! DC will be a sanctuary city and the taxpayers will fund the lawyers .....etc etc etc””

Good Luck ....
