Vandals splashed green paint on the statue of Abraham Lincoln and the marble floor around the statue today in Washington DC. ABC Action News reported:
The Washington Post reported:
The Lincoln Memorial was shut down Friday morning after unknown vandals splashed the statue of the nation’s 16th president, and the marble floor around it, with green paint, U.S. Park Police said.
Police are reviewing surveillance footage from the popular tourist attraction on the west end of the Mall, but so far have released no information about who may have been responsible.
Authorities believe the vandalism happened around 1:30 a.m. The National Park Service will work to clean up the paint, police said, and the memorial will be closed to the public until cleanup is complete.
Police said no damage was reported at the Mall’s other memorials and monuments Friday morning.
The memorial to the president who emancipated the slaves has been the site of major moments in U.S. history.
It looks like the violent eco-leftists have struck again.
