Climate Protesters Arrested after Throwing Pink Powder on U.S. Constitution in Museum Two climate activists were arrested on Wednesday after they poured a pink powder on a case holding the U.S. Constitution.
The two protesters were caught on camera in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom, claiming their act was to raise awareness for climate change.
In a video posted on X, one of the activists can be heard saying:
“This country is founded on the conditions that all men are created equally.”
“We are calling for all people to have all these rights, not just wealthy white men.”
“We all deserve clean air, water, food, and a livable climate.”
Capitol Police arrested the two individuals.

VIDEO AT LINK....................
The museum was forced to close at 3:00 p.m. due to the incident.
The U.S. Constitution is “sealed in the most scientifically advanced housing that preservation technology can provide,” the National Archives said.
The Constitution does not appear to have been damaged during the incident.
Dr. Colleen Shogan, the archivist of the United States, said in a press release that the National Archives “will insist that the perpetrators be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Other similar incidents have also occurred recently.
The Free Beacon noted:
Climate protesters have, in recent years, taken to defacing famous artifacts in their demonstrations.
On Tuesday, two activists from Last Generation, a European climate group, pasted images of a natural disaster onto Sandro Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” in the museum that houses it in Florence, Italy.
Late last month, two activists from a food sustainability group in France threw soup on Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” in Paris’s Louvre Museum. Those paintings are also protected by glass cases.
In 2022, two protestors threw tomato soup at Van Gogh while gluing themselves to the floor of the National Gallery in London.
“The country was founded on the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence they slanderously misquote.”
They did not quote, just a statement. We celebrate 1776 as the birth of our nation. The constitution was not ratified until 1789.
Founded on the conditions?
Useful idiots.
Retards....................
If I ever saw someone doing this an arrest would be the least of their problems. Locating all their teeth would be a far more immediate concern.

They should be shot
We should bring back the stocks..................
I want 5 minutes alone with each of these “activists”
I promise I’ll carry nothing but my 36oz rock maple bat. Break their damn legs I will!!!!

I love baseball, especially wood bats.
However, we’re breaking out some old aluminum bats from the 1980’s for this occasion. A 34” “Black Magic” or a 32” Easton should do the trick.
Maybe the powder is Toxic and we don’t have to worry about them ,LOL
Little reported is the pink powder matched the color of their lace panties.
There is no remedy within the American legal system.
Some Soros DA will go soft on them after a high paid Leftist lawyer gets charges reduced. Smirking or smiling they will strut out to the street and go to parties.
Advice from the mouths of babes.
Also applies to post #9 below.
““We all deserve clean air, water, food, and a livable climate.””
Already have that chumps.
Guy on the right looks exactly like one would expect would look. Guy on the left... Probably dressed like that to avoid suspicion.

Put ALL vandals, and people who block public roadways in Stocks. Whip them with canes like they do in Singapore. Nobody dies, and they WILL NOT do this again. What is cruel and unusual is, that punishment for crime is a nothingburger. A few hours in County lockup, then out. Back to court, then community service.
See Post #35, it would stop the problem at the source. Common vandals, include those blocking public roadways, or defacing them.
Yup. For about $1.00.
It took a few minutes for the police to figure out what to do with them. It was almost as if the police were waiting for them to finish their speeches and give permission to let them arrest them. Strange arrest scene.
