Lincoln Memorial Vandalized Last Night..CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/15/politics/lincoln-memorial-vandalized/index.html


Washington (CNN) — The National Park Service is actively working to remove graffiti found spray-painted in red on a pillar of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall early Tuesday morning.

The graffiti was discovered around 4:30 a.m. ET Tuesday and appears to say "[expletive] law," according to a statement provided by NPS.

NPS also found indecipherable graffiti in silver spray-painted over a map of the Smithsonian museums in another area of the National Mall


Both sites of vandalism are already being actively cleaned up by a National Mall and Memorial Parks monument preservation crew. Cleanup will continue until all evidence of the graffiti is gone, according to the NPS statement. The United States Park Police is currently investigating the incident.

All over..a few here, and a few there. But they have less fear to act. The Nazis think they have a connection in the White House. Perhaps several connections. They are emboldened by that feeling that there is a connection

F**k them.!!!

Along with a bunch of liberal Jews.

After all, the GOP is the party of Lincoln, so we know they're all entirely innocent.
