He did not desecrate anything! Just covered the dang thing up during photo ops where jerks were purposely shooting boob angles with him as the butt of the joke. He got fed up with it. Funny, this boob shoot has never been done before. Does that tell you anything!
The liberal press did the same thing to Ed Meese. I bet you there are photos of Reno copping a feel of the female statue, but the press would never release that.
Covering art up is not the best response. Also, it was politically tone-deaf in the extreme. His best response would have been to make a backdrop for his podium, 'to help the photographers get their lighting correct'. Restrict where photographers may stand. Then the angle could never have been made, and he would not now be the butt of jokes for the next 3 to 7 years.

I would never tell you that the news media is made up of anything but die-hard liberals.
I am in total agreement with you. One cannot 'pluck out the eye of the press that offends thee', but one can give it something else to view.
