D.C. Mayor Painted 'Black Lives Matter' on the Streets, But She Erased 'Cuba Libre'
PJ Media ^ | 21 July 2021 | Tyler O'Neil

Last year, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-Washington, D.C.) directed her taxpayer-funded staff to paint “Black Lives Matter” in all caps along 16th Street N.W. near the White House. Yet when activists painted “CUBA LIBRE” on the same street in front of the Cuban Embassy last Friday, Bowser’s staff erased the message.

While the “CUBA LIBRE” lettering appeared to be in the same style as the state-sanctioned Black Lives Matter graffiti, D.C. Department of Public Works crews arrived outside the embassy on Friday afternoon to remove “the unauthorized painting,” spokeswoman Erica Cunningham told The Washington Post.

The Cuban Embassy attacked the U.S. in a statement.

“Despite the systematic policy of confrontation and aggression of the United States government against Cuba, the American diplomats who work in the US Embassy in Havana have always been safe and have never been the object of attacks, or other manifestations of hatred. The Cuban Government expects the same behavior on the US side,” an embassy spokesperson told the Post.

She's a marxist. An ignorant racist marxist. Like so many other municipal officials across the country. And in way above her competency level. Dog catcher or the sanitation department is more her speed.

The activists should have painted “Black Cuba Libre”. That would have caused the entire D.C. administration to freeze with indecision.

Cuban Americans voted for Trump.
That is their biggest sin against the swamp.
They are now considered enemies of the JoeBama regime just like the rest of the Blacks, whites and Asians who are Trump supporters.
And all the democrats and RINOs KNOW Trump WON.
That is why the swamp creatures are totally deranged now.
They fully expect to be OUSTED.

Democrat DC Mayor Muriel Bowser needs to be sued for outright discrimination. As part of the lawsuits, she needs to testify who told her paint Black Lives Matter TM and use taxpayer money as well as who told her to remove Cuba Libre.

She's guilty of racketeering. She and her co-conspirators need to be identified and charged under RICO.

Wherever we see the BLM logo painted on any street, we should obtain some paint matching the street and paint over the “V”.
