District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday had "Black Lives Matter" painted on the street that leads to the White House where protesters have been demonstrating following George Floyd’s death in police custody.

"There was a dispute this week about whose street this is," John Falcicchio, chief of staff for Bowser, a Democrat, said earlier in a tweet. "Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC's street and to honor demonstrators who (were) peacefully protesting on Monday evening."

And “no one else matters.” Divisive, ugly, and nightmarish.

oh....this is even more compelling:

Right after the painted”BLACK LIVES MATTER” I can envision this painted (or photoshopped in)...so why are the liberals in Washington paying Planned Parenthood millions of taxpayer’s money to do away with the little innocent black lives?.

Wouldn’t that be something if someone photoshopped that in!

"Got to be Photoshop or something.'

Does look a little like some trees and possibly a person is painted over.

Be awfully slick if a septic tank/Rotor Rooter truck were to spring a leak right on top of that road.

And what about Aunty-FooFoo /AuntyFeeFee. They need a road with AUNTY-FOOFOO or AUNTY-FEEFEE painted on it. Uh HMm .

This Mayor is way beyond her authority! DC is the seat of government under CONGRESSIONAL rule.

The Constitution create DC as the Federal seat of government. ONLY Congress has the power over DC, not the mayor! Mayor is a steward, a subordinate to congress having authority to manage civilian affairs in DC. And she has the gall to criticize others of disobeying the constitution?

She cannot commandeer any structure or place, change the name of street, a sign or a building... kick out the national guard or do ANYTHING in DC without congressional approval, ZERO! What she is doing is prohibited in the constitution by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17. But she routinely attacks others for not obeying the constitution. Typical lefty hypocrisy. Laws for thee but not for me when it doesn’t benefit them.

The prohibition of statehood for DC is enshrined in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 which reads, “The Congress shall have Power To …exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States.”

Congress needs to smack this rouge make-believe mayor to the curb!

Childish and over playing their hand per usual.

The left like the emotionally low IQ people they are probably think this is “badass” or whatever.

BLACK LIVES MATTER MORE THAN OTHER LIVES. That’s the truth too. They’re allowed to kill each other and other racial groups at higher levels than the other way around and media and officials; crickets.
Yet when they are killed, mostly for resisting or for self defense it’s riot time. Stop police from arresting us, stop jails from holding us, release us from prison even with long violent history.

Yea sure Nancy Pelosi is going to order that it painted over asap.

Taking back the house is critical then it will painted over. She didn’t really officially CHANGE anything she vandalized a street with paint.

to be driven over, stepped on, for dogs to defecate on. this doesn’t seem like a genius move to me. Arabs do this sort of thing as an insult (painting Am flags to be walked on as sign of disrespect)

I wonder how they took the photo?

A helicopter or small plane would risk being shot down that close to the White House.

she also renamed 16th Avenue, BLM Plaza

and put extra lights on the street tonite because she wanted to make sure that everyone saw just how vindictive she can be towards those she feels are beneath her (everybody else).

Bowser appears to have acted like a despot in every position she’s held. She’s painted herself into a corner, but for now, she’s pulling a CCP move - trying to project strength so she can make social points with the Dems she’ll need to avoid being tossed out of office for gross mismanagement, questionable connections and abuse of power..

What is the symbolism when you drive over the message?

The act of a 2 year old. Disgraceful.

I would think it is not D.C.’s street but the Federal Government’s street. The racist nincompoop misfits in DC need to be slapped back to reality.

Maybe if she took real action on the crime committed in her city instead of pulling these stunts, some of those black lives that supposedly matter to her can be saved.

“The section of 16th street in front of the White House is now officially ‘Black Lives Matter Plaza...” Bowser tweeted.

A sign was put up to mark the change.
