LAKE GENEVA, Wis. — A Minnesota team won't be at the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Championship this week after two of its proposed pieces — including one depicting President Donald Trump — were denied due to political overtones and inappropriateness.

The team — state champs Dusty Thune, Kelly Thune and David Aichinger — had created a snow sculpture of Trump last year at the event in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, that showed Trump's hair and neck as a twisted pile of feces featuring his tweets. It was called "Peep" and meant to evoke the president's vulgar comments about African countries.

So organizers clarified rules early this year with sculptors, warning them to stay away from controversial and political designs because the event is family friendly.

One look at the wingnut who is the sculptor of this mess tells you all you need to know.

It figures that these iceholes are from Minnesota and that they won in the competition here.

I’m glad Wisconsin had the balls and the brains to kick them out.

I read the article but when I went to read it again I got the subscription message. So to sum up the story for you;

Some fags from Minnesota wanted to make an ice sculpture of Trump kicking puppies and locking up children and Wisconsin said no.

So it was just virtue signaling to the Somali-Minnesotans.
