A Republican congressman took matters into his own hands Friday and personally removed a painting depicting police officers as pigs that a colleague had allowed to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol complex.

“I was angry,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told FoxNews.com. “I’ve seen the press [reporting] on this for about a week or so. … I’m in the Marine Corps. If you want it done, just call us.”

Thank you Sir Duncan Hunter. Confronting leftist criminals is what Marines do.

It applies, thus it’s worth repeating.

Reminds me of the “pig carcass” sculptures that adorn the west side of the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters:

There are several at a total cost of $500,000.00.

The low-life congressman from Missouri needs to find a safe space for his mural.

And in doing so, Duncan Hunter just upped the value of that painting significantly. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it auctions in some liberal enclave this year for more than $100,000. I hope the kid who did it realizes this before he lets it go on the cheap. He should insure it immediately.

I figured Lacy Clay was a black dude and when I googled his picture I was correct.
