A few days after the Trump administration told D.C.'s mayor to get rid of the Black Lives Matter Plaza or lose federal funding, 7News was there as it was ripped apart.

Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia introduced a bill threatening to revoke federal funding from D.C. unless Mayor Muriel Bowser renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza.

7News found Tuere Marshall gazing, as the letters that spelled “Black Lives Matter” turned to scribble.

“The day when this was, oh my goodness, when this was constructed, it was amazing,” Marshall said.

The pounds, drills and crumbles echo near the White House as the plaza is removed during an eight-week period.

“I had to come down,” Marshall said. “It’s my first time; it’s my first time coming this close.”

They should leave it up in perpetuity. Do not let them cover up their crimes.

“as the plaza is removed during an eight-week period”

I thought the words were written on the street/ground, they have to take 2 months to tear it up rather than paint it over?
