A mysterious bronze-colored monument was installed Thursday morning across the street from the U.S. Capitol grounds “honoring” the people behind the Jan. 6 insurrection with a massive turd.
The monument depicts an emoji-style pile of poop sitting on a desk with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) nameplate next to it and a plaque underneath that reads:
This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election.
President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as “unbelievable patriots” and “warriors.” This monument stands as testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.
A group called Civic Crafting is behind the installation, according to Ricardo, a security guard sitting in a car near the monument. He said he was hired to make sure nobody climbs on it.
