House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tried unsuccessfully on Friday to appeal a decision made by the Architect of the Capitol to remove a controversial painting that depicted police officers as animals.
The Architect of the Capitol last month decided to take down the student-made artwork, following outcry from law enforcement organizations and House Republicans offended by the depiction of the police officers as pigs confronting black protesters.

And the irony, of course, is that they’re crying “free speech, free speech” for their justification on why this obscene painting needs to be hung publicly. Meanwhile, they celebrate quashing conservatives from even appearing in public institutions such as universities to express their views.

The Republicans need to get on talk shows and raise a huge stink that this painting shows what Dems think of police. That's what the Dems would do.

Perhaps she can hang it in her goat-something pizza shop.

Brain dead Nan also has lousy taste in art. That painting was awful on every aspect.

The democrats are up to their elbows in problems and THIS is what she wants to fight? LOL
I say let them hang the painting up as long as it hangs alongside a picture of O’Bunghole, the wookie, malaria and sasquatch cast as gorillas

The painting sucks, anyhow. Why would anyone hang such a amateurish POS on anything but the back of a closet door

Why doesn’t she put up a framed picture of an aborted black baby in her office? Still would be controversial.
To: maggief
Prediction: That tacky painting is going to end up being “anonymously signed” with a single edged blade Mat Knife. One big linear X will mark the spot.
To: All
She fights for this? Nothing like choosing ones battles. The Rats could not have picked a more appropriate minority leader. Love how she gets more coverage then Ryan or McConell combined.

We are headed to armed conflict with these wack jobs.
