The New White House Fence Is Getting Covered In Protest Art

This will make the history books! Trump afraid of his own people inside the Chicken Coop! LOL

As the protests over police brutality and the killing of George Floyd ramped up in the past week, the administration of Donald Trump increasingly fortified the area around the White House.

Entrances to Pennsylvania Avenue and E Street NW, the Ellipse, and Lafayette Square are barricaded by about 1.7 miles of mesh metal fences and guarded by police. The Secret Service said last week that the entire area around the “White House complex” would remain closed until June 10.

Meanwhile, Mayor Muriel Bowser has expressed concern that some of the measures may be be permanent.

The barriers have been a jarring sight for many Washingtonians, long used to free access to spaces that serve as a symbol of democracy and where First Amendment protests have played out for over a century. Throughout the week, protesters could often be heard pressed up against the fence, chanting “This is what democracy looks like.”

While the closest the public can get to the White House is about 600 feet away, the fence around the people’s house is being reclaimed by the people again.

1. Trump fucks up again!

As usual, the idiot doesn't think forward. He built a fence so we, THE PEOPLE, have put our protests on his fucking fence.

Hey, Trump! You're an idiot.

6. We should do the same with his stupid wall.

Plaster it with "Give me your tired and your poor" and "Americans don't hate you. Our government did this." and other things to let immigrants coming in from the south know this isn't us. It's our snobby, lying government.

8. It would be nice if all the people they hate end up being the ones who take them down.

Trump, Lady G, all of them.

10. Didn't tRump have the fence installed for this purpose.....

so MAGATs from around America could express their love for him with hundreds of signs?........

There may be hell to pay when he orders these posters removed......

On a more serious note, I hope someone photo documents the entire fence and publishes it for the world to see.

KY.........

12. Need a few dozen chickens

To be set wandering the White House Lawn, happily clucking and scratching. It would be even more hilarious, if some exotic breeds were in the mix.

13. I hope all the photo's of the D.C. fence are saved and put into a museum when this is over.
