The Jesus statue that sits atop Chair 2 at Whitefish Mountain Resort (Montana) was vandalized.
The statue was found Monday morning with brown painted skin tones and holding flags that read “Rise Up” and “#BLM,” according to a photo posted to Facebook, seemingly making reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.
By Monday afternoon the flags were gone, but the paint remained.
The resort on Monday released a short statement confirming that the statue had been vandalized, adding that the resort “strongly disapproves of vandalism.”
WMR Spokesperson Riley Polumbus said she’s guessing the incident took place sometime over the weekend, and that resort employees driving by over the last few work days hadn’t noticed a change to the statue.
“We certainly have some work where you’re driving up the mountain and you see it, but no one had seen anything,” she said.
Flathead National Forest Public Information Officer Lauren Alley confirmed the forest service learned of the vandalism on Monday, but did not yet have information on whether the incident is being investigated.
Polumbus added that the Knights of Columbus organization originally installed the statue and takes annual care to clean it. The group will be assessing the damage soon, she noted.
The statue took its spot on the hill in 1954 to honor World War II veterans and members of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division and is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

Whitefish has gone extremely up-scale with big money moving in. The big outside money is almost always ultra-liberal.
Is this private property?................
It can be VERY windy and Cold up there.
Nice views though.
Wait’ll the MLK statues start getting bulldozed for his #MeToo transgressions...
Well I guess we can rule out white supremacists as the thugs who did this.
BLM = Bigoted Lynch Mob
Nobody saw nothing.
What is it with these people. The other day there was a guy on a plane saying he was going to kill everybody on the plane unless they admit Jesus was black.
This particular Statue portrays Jesus having rather darker than a white complexion. I thought that’s what these hooligans wanted.
This isn’t about “black lives” (never was)
These are atheist communists in blackface.
Know them by their actions. Do they actually HELP black neighborhoods? No. Are they out helping black businesses get back in their feet? No. They’re continuing to riot and loot. Are they calling out black on black violence which is increasing as the police are pulled from the streets? No. They’re blaming guns.
This is a white revolution in blackface.
Whitefish needs to change its name to Blackfish and all will be calm.
Trust me....
Did you think it would stop at Columbus? It was never about Columbus. It’s about eliminating our civilization based on European culture and values and replacing it with marxism + savagery.
This is why God suggested no graven images...........
Jesus had vitiligo?
Should of made a video of the BLM flag being burned, or better yet, defecated on.

“The big outside money is almost always ultra-liberal.”
How can lefties be so against big money people, “the 1%”, when those rich people coddle, endorse and fund lefties and their misdeeds?
The utter hypocrisy of the left is astounding, jaw-dropping.
“Should of made a video of the BLM flag being burned, or better yet, defecated on.”
Big Loads Matter
So, what color is God?
