A Nebraska state senator caught on video removing portraits of America’s Founders from a hallway in the state Capitol is defending her actions.
Democratic State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh was shown on Capitol security footage taking down portraits from an exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. The exhibit was provided by conservative nonprofit PragerU and included images of signers of the Declaration of Independence and prominent women in American history, according to Gov. Jim Pillen, who criticized the lawmaker’s actions.
"Celebrating America during our 250th year should be a moment of unity and patriotism, not divisiveness and destructive partisanship," Pillen wrote in a post on X. "I am disappointed in this shameful and selfish bad example."
Cavanaugh told KETV7 Omaha that she removed the portraits because she believed they violated the rules and regulations of the State Capitol and did not believe they had been approved. She cited Rule 4.07, which limits displays to the first-floor rotunda for a one-week period in most cases and prohibits leafleting within the state Capitol or on its grounds.
"I don’t even know what the pictures were. I wasn’t really paying attention as I was taking them down. I just took them down," Cavanaugh said, denying her actions were political. "I will say that I know that the picture that he tweeted is not one of the ones that I took down, because I saw it in a different hallway."
The progressive lawmaker later told the Lincoln Journal Star that she tried not to damage the artwork and contacted the Nebraska State Patrol to let them know where the portraits could be found, according to the Nebraska Examiner.

How many cats does she have?
If America is to survive it must purge itself of AWFLs.
Despicable person.
Well, at least she's admitting that she's stoo-pid!
Regards,
So she didn’t see what pictures she actually took down, but knows the one in the article isn’t one of them.
Sure... And you’re not political, AT ALL! You’re just a typical Democrat that, like most, is all about playing by the rules and obeying all laws down to jaywalking and spitting on the sidewalk.
No more stupid than the constituents that put her in office.
USELESS PIECE OF DEMOCRAP HUMAN DEBRIS
The politicians are smart enough to know how stupid the voters are.
Cavanaugh another C.U.N.T.
CAN’T UNDERSTAND NOEMAL THINKING
I think I see the problem here: another one of those communist AWFULs.
Has absolutely no business being in government. Spit.
Should have been arrested and prosecuted for doing that....
Typical crazy white leftist female. She has the look. She is cut from the same mold as that odious Ponce woman who screeched at that poor Target employee.
This is who they are. The very same type who goes in book stores to turn over and hide books of those who do not agree with them.
The same type who aims her vehicle at ICE agents doing their job.
The article did not specify which Founders were in the pictures, but anyway I'm guessing she had no idea who those people were. If it had been pictures of George Floyd or Che she probably would have been okay with that.
Maybe her constituents likewise just "weren't paying attention" when they marked their ballots!
Regards,
Another “warrior” DemonRAT skank. A real sicko. Toss her ass in jail before she forces somebody to have to kill her. Nebraska guys. Zip up your flies before voting. You ain’t getting none of that. She’s just playing with your empty skull.
That’s one thing about today’s Democrats. They feel entitled to do whatever they wish. Pull down signs. Deface statues. Whatever.
Because they are soooo much more virtuous than the rest of us.
Reason number 37 why women are unfit for political leadership in society
Yes, There are some awful individuals in the republic. This POS is not called out on her lie. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.
Ignorant Cavanaugh, congenitally stupid about US history, actually says out loud,
“I don’t even know what the pictures were. I wasn’t paying attention. I just took them down.”
Dumbo.
Miss Active II the cat says, “She is clearly a Maoist”.
