A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” that depicts President Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday morning. The work is the latest in a series of politically charged sculptures critical of the president that have been placed in Washington and elsewhere by an anonymous group.
A plaque at the base of the installation reads, “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.”
The relationship between the president and Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019, has come into sharper focus this year as both supporters and critics of the administration have called for the full release of files related to Epstein.
The president’s friendship with Epstein began in the 1980s when they were neighbors in Florida. The men often appeared in public together and Trump, like many other prominent people, flew on Epstein’s jet on multiple occasions.
You can’t complain about this right wingers. It’s just teaching history.
That’s why it had to be removed immediately.
Historical statues aren’t allowed unless they’re revisionist.
Right-weiners can complain about anything they damned well want to - and they virtually always do, including fabricating insane “justifications” which match the quality of their current mental stability.
lol. yeah they can’t be hippocrates now can they.
It’s unfortunate that there is only one photo of the statue in the article. I’d bet many people would just assume that this is ai generated.
As word about the sculpture spread Tuesday morning, visitors stopped to read the plaques and take photos. Many said the work reaffirmed their beliefs about having a right to criticize the government and its leaders.
“Liberals are free to waste their money however they see fit — but it’s not news that Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in an email. “Democrats, the media, and the organization that’s wasting their money on this statue knew about Epstein and his victims for years and did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, and is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents.”
Oh really? Weird that it’s already been taken down. I guess some people just love protecting pedophiles more than they love free speech. SAD!
I thought the republicans loved statues?
In particular they love statues of losers
They seem to think “If it’s gold, it can’t possibly be tacky!”
Enjoy your child rapist president, and his commemorative gold statue.
The love child molesters and hipocrisy.
Whoever did this, you are a genius and I will send some care packages to the prison you end up in for the rest of your life.
Its the same group that made a statue of a turd on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.
They even got a permit for this that was supposed to allow it to remain until the 28th, but laws and free speech don’t count when you hurt the president’s fee fees by acknowledging reality.
Excuse me while I go change my pants from laughing so hard I peed myself.
“digraced financier”? what the heck. write “convicted sex offender “
My brain immediately upon reading the headline: 🎶Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows…🎶
