Pro-Palestinian graffiti was found on several monuments surrounding the White House after a large pro-Palestinian protest on Saturday.
The pro-Palestinian protest on Saturday drew over 100,000 demonstrators, making it the largest protest in support of Palestine in United States history. Afterward, onlookers noticed pro-Palestinian graffiti on monuments surrounding the White House. The building itself was untouched thanks to security barriers that don’t allow anyone near and a heightened security presence.

Video showed a Palestinian flag raised on the statue of the Marquis de Lafayette near the White House, with “Free Palestine” spray painted on his pedestal. A Palestinian keffiyeh, popularized by the Palestinian Liberation Organization, was put on the head of one of the figures at the foot of the pedestal.
A Palestinian flag was also raised on former President Andrew Jackson’s statue. Red handprints resembling bloody handprints were seen on the entrance gate to the White House.

Across the street from the White House, “Gaza” and “F*** Joe Biden” were seen spray painted or scratched into other monuments. Other more vulgar graffiti was seen as well.
I’m at the White House right now.
Every monument has been desecrated and vandalized.
Most of the graffiti says “F*** JOE BIDEN”
This one is literally across the street from Hunter’s room at the White House.
Weird how I’m not seeing this anywhere?
