A man claiming to be an artist vandalized the Soho gallery on Friday where Hunter Biden is having an art show, with paintings being sold for as much as $500,000.
The man, who identified himself as Rod Webber, was removed from the upscale gallery by NYPD officers after spray painting 'Daddy' on the wall.
Witnesses told DailyMail.com he also threw a pile of bills onto the floor of the gallery.
Webber, who has a long history of provocative stunts, had previewed his latest act on Facebook, writing earlier on Friday: 'Art gallery promotes crime family.
'What will happen today is no worse than Ellis Gallagher scribbling with chalk that washes off in the rain.'
Gallagher is a chalk artist who in 2010 sued the city for removing his chalk art.
Webber later added: 'Who's ready for a weird live stream?''As we all know, going back for many, many years - roughly 40 years - Joe Biden has involved himself in all kinds of shenanigans.
'Ask any politician - you can't avoid being corrupted by the office. Maybe he went in with good intentions, but he's been corrupted over the years. He's worked with segregationists, Klansmen. And now, I don't even know what's going on with this gallery situation but he can't stop bombing Syria or Iraq and someone should say something about it, so let's go see Hunter Biden's gallery.'

Left = Protesting
Right = Vandalizing
Is it even possible to vandalize Hunter’s art? It still looks like trash.
Not sure Hunter is even the actual artist let alone being worth $500k.
This brings up a good point. Which insurance company is insuring paintings used for bribes?
If he burned the building down, he could blame White Privilege and get a promotion in the DNC
I could make better art by dipping the cat in a bucket or two of paint and letting him roll across some canvas.
If he was A blm or antifa guy doing this to A Trump son would he have been arrested? He probably would have been encouraged to keep going.
This could move the price from zero to a few dollars.
Whatever happened to “speaking truth to power”? The left used to approve of that.
Finally some constructive "Vandalism", Can I please be on the Jury?
The guy could just say that what he was doing was ‘art’.
Fixed it
A lot of the ultra high end collectable (art, wine, etc) acts like money laundering.
It also acts like crazy people with to much money, so your mileage may vary
Remember this guy… An Italian Artist Auctioned Off an ‘Invisible Sculpture’ for $18,300. It’s Made Literally of Nothing
“It is a work that asks you to activate the power of the imagination,” Salvatore Garau said of his sculpture.
You make a great point.
A Trump son SHOULD throw some paint over a canvas, and start an ‘art show’ right next door, doing the exact same thing.
That would expose some hypocrisy on so many levels. What could they criticize with out similar criticism of HB?
Plus some people might buy them and he could announce all the proceeds go to his dad’s campaign(s)
One of he Trump kids should be assigned to copycat EVERY liberal idiocy to drive them crazy.
I don’t see any money filtering down to ‘people of color’ in Hunter’s current scheme.
Maybe a Hunter Biden Gallery with art created by ‘people of color’ would allow Hunter Biden and talented artists ‘of color’ to get rich. Perhaps 25% for Hunter and gallery expenses, 10% for the ‘Big Man’ and the balance to the artists.
Your chance to buy “Daddy” is going to vanish quickly.
Do I hear $20,000?
It’s an original, folks, one of a kind!
WTH ever happened to the Emoluments Clause?
This is BEYOND ridiculous. How can people be so blind to this blatant Biden bribery? Equal justice in America is dead.
The only way to draw attention to this issue would be for Trump to buy a painting and come out and support Hunters art career. Talk him up as if he is truly talented and the media will immediately become interested in how Hunter banged his dead brothers widow while on crack and exposing himself to minors while illegally possessing a firearm... Just for starters.
Otherwise, they’ll declare him the new Warhol.
