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.

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.
Yup - watch these guys get no jail time and a $50 fine
The irony of their manifesto is apropos to their willful ignorance; which equals stupidity.
Start shooting these people.
“that all men are created equally” (SIC).
These two are equality of outcome Morons.
The country was founded on the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence they slanderously misquote.
Morons x2
The actual text:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Nothing in there about clean air, cheap food, free porn, etc.
Morons x3
What they have done, by their own admission, is to perpetrate a blatant attack on the very foundations of our republic, and we should/must provide a very severe example to the world of how seriously we view our foundational principles.
They should be charged with treason, insurrection, and any other applicable capital offense(s). They should be given a very long prison sentence or even life in prison without parole.
“They should be given a very long prison sentence or even life in prison without parole.”
My preference would be a heavy beating by the police and then have them dumped in Anacostia and forced to walk home.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal......................
And then it goes downhill from there..................
Yes. In the middle of February. In the MIDDLE of tha Anacostia. With all their pockets full of iron ingots.
“...to raise awareness for climate change...”
We are all overly aware of “Climate Change” constantly being used to bring on The Revolution through gas-lighting of the populous.
Shoot them?
No ...
Pillory them in public for passers-by to pelt with rocks and garbage.
Take the red powder, mix it with some C4 and give it to these terrorists as a short-term suppository.
Name them and let them go, with the only response: “You wanted attention. Now you got it. Good luck.”
Potatus will probably give them a medal
“...to raise awareness for climate change...”
Never have so many been made dupes by so few.................
If you love Communism so much move to China.
If that pic doesn’t just scream ‘USEFUL IDIOTS’ nothing does..................
INSURRECTION AGAINST THE US CONSTITUTION
