From last month:

Painting of Cops as Pigs Hung Proudly in US Capitol

GOOD!

If a white teen had submitted a painting insulting to the black community I wonder how long it would have taken to get it down? My guess? Minutes.

And the press? They would NOT have been screaming about ‘free speech’...

[onedoug]

Looks like some 2nd grade inner city “art” project.

[Red Badger]

So the Congresscritter represents St. Louis and FERGUSON...................

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

“was one of hundreds of winners of the Congressional Art Competition”

In WHAT category?

[strange1]

“..”...what would motivate an 18 year to express himself in this way, .....”

yep...real head scratcher there..../sarcasm

[camle]

should have left it with a sign reading how this is what the democrats think of police

[RummyChick]

Ryan should have been on top of this

[jonno]

One ignoramus democrat lawmaker was actually citing the kids first amendment right to have the painting displayed.

I’m not sure what is worse - that the lawmaker could be so ignorant as to believe that the the 1A gives us the RIGHT to a “podium”, OR that the lawmaker could so easily deceive his audience...

[lakecumberlandvet]

Nothing honorable about that pos.

[llevrok]

a can of Kiwi lighter fluid and a match would have done it for me.

[Sacajaweau]

Disgusting....but tells what these kids are really like...and what they espouse....

Looks like some 2nd grade inner city “art” project.

As the "artist" is an 18 yr old St. Louis youth...it probably actually is a 2nd grade project

I thought that was a fat rhino with his ribs showing. They can’t even get pigs right.

[mewzilla]

There’s gonna be a new sheriff in town come Friday. That’s why this was removed. Congress didn’t want to give Trump the ammo.

[piasa]

Are they SURE it wasn’t done by a lily white liberal kid named “Pulphus” getting directed by a political activist/instigator?

[bassmaner]

In WHAT category?

Communist agitprop.

[piasa]

Kid forgot to depict the beauty parlor going up in flames as “peaceful protesters” exit it carrying the cash register and all the hair extensions and beauty products they could grab. He also forgot to include the white communist agitators.
