A hideous statue of Hillary Clinton was erected in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, sparking a scrum between an offended woman and those defending the artist’s freedom of expression.
The misshapen nude, hoofed caricature popped up outside the Bowling Green subway station around 6 a.m., causing a rush-hour commotion.
An irate woman knocked down the statue, breaking off parts of it and sitting on it around 7 a.m., while the unnamed artist and a male supporter tried to save it, witnesses said.
The woman called police, who told the unnamed artist to move it. The statue was gone by 7:30 a.m.
“Yeah, I hope they put you in cuffs,” the male artist said during Tuesday’s brouhaha. “I’m just trying to preserve my art here.”
“This is my workplace, I have to look at this?” the upset woman said.
As she sat on the statue, a man shouted out: “Does anyone have a forklift?”
Before that woman’s intervention, most passersby seemed to view the statue as harmless, witnesses said.
“When the lady started kicking it, then it got serious,” said Demetrius Aspinall, 22, who works at a nearby farmers’ market. “Just because you don’t like it, you shouldn’t be taking it upon yourself to destroy it.”
A naked Donald Trump statue was erected near Union Square back in August.

Yeah, I’d be pissed too, having to toss my cookies over that sight.
Who's working on the street? A prostitute?
I suspect that it’s less “hideous” than the real thing. But who knows? Even Bill won’t go there.
Free speech for me, but not for thee, quoteth the leftist.
TTIWWO...........never mind!..............
So what’s the name of the artist and where can I see more of his stuff?
Hooves!! LMAO!
Not safe for work. Not safe for anyone either. ooo That left a mark in my brain I got to erase.
It has a guy crouching at her panties. Did the artist not know of Huma?
Kaine.
Indeed. Had I or anyone else destroyed the offensive “Piss Christ,” we’d still be in jail.
What about the nude statues of Donald Trump here and there?
Yuck, Can’t be unseen....
“A hideous statue of Hillary Clinton”
She’s already hideous so why make a statue?
Hillary did say she’s all for transparency. I didn’t realize she meant clothing. This isn’t the Hillary stuff we’ve been demanding to see. Now I understand why she supports muslims and women wearing burkas. She definitely needs to be out of public sight - permanently.
The guy should have timed it so when the loud mouth slob had her face up close he rolled the statue so Hillarys hand punched her right in the mouth.
bkmk
I don’t find it hard to believe at all, that a naked Hillary Rodham Cthulhu could induce madness in anyone within close proximity.
I've heard those Clinterventions can get pretty rough.
