‘Black Lives Matter Plaza’ Being Dismantled and Painted Over in DC (VIDEO)

Workers in Washington, D.C., have started the process of dismantling Black Lives Matter Plaza — including the bright yellow mural that has been on 16th Street since the race riots of June 2020. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the eyesore painted a block away from the White House after George Floyd’s death.
Bowser described the city-sanctioned vandalism as a show of “solidarity,” but it was widely mocked as pandering — even by the left.
The 35-foot-tall letters cost taxpayers over $4 million to install and maintain.
Congress passed the removal of the mural after Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde introduced a bill threatening to withhold millions in federal funds from D.C. unless the removal was conducted and the plaza renamed “Liberty Plaza.”
Bowser tried to save face after caving, writing on X:
“The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference. The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.”
The removal process, estimated at $610,000, is expected to take six to eight weeks.

Removing 'Black Lives Matter' from the street is only Making America Great Again.

Give them 7 days to do it, or permanently remove funding.

Ha- Mayor Bowser spent 4 million dollars painting the Street and installing bollards.
Trump is converting it back to a functional two lane street for $600K

They couldn’t do that and now, black lives don’t matter any more than they did at the start of this.
To: Macho MAGA Man
Bet I could do it for half that cost.

They should replace it with the numbers of blacks murdered by other blacks every year in America.

Personally...I prefer just "LIVES MATTER". (if you have to put a color in front of it, then guess what?)
To: Macho MAGA Man
6-8 weeks at $600k. BLM should be sued to pay it. That’s one of the most uncomfortable streets to walk on. It just pisses one off!

Would have been interesting to see the “MATTER” get replaced with “MAGA”.
