You probably heard about the fight over a painting in the Capitol Building. It depicts policemen as pigs killing black people. Well, last week some Republicans took it down and gave it back to the Democrat congressman who hung it. Only to see it re-hung. The chairman of the Congressional Black Caucasians threatened to “whip somebody\u2019s ass” to ensure the insulting, offensive painting remains on display.<\/p>\n
Well, now another controversy is brewing over a different painting. Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri — who chairs the Inaugural Ceremonies committee — asked the St. Louis Art Museum to loan one of its most famous paintings for Donald Trump\u2019s inaugural luncheon.<\/p>\n
The 1855 painting by Missouri artist George Caleb Bingham is titled \u201cThe Verdict of the People.\u201d Well, the left is coming unglued over that. Thousands have signed a whiny little petition in protest, which says (sniveling liberal impression): \u201cWe reject the use of the painting to suggest that Donald Trump\u2019s election was truly the \u2018verdict of the people.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, the museum director is steering clear of the fight. He says, \u201cThe museum takes no position on candidates for public office.\u201d But the week isn\u2019t over yet. Let\u2019s see if the museum\u2019s position survives the usual liberal viciousness and threats.<\/p>\n
You disgruntled liberals, the Democrat lost! Isn\u2019t it time for you to grow up, get a life, and maybe just \u201cmove on\u201d? Ever heard of that? That\u2019s \u201cthe verdict\u201d of the normal people. Just move on, get out of the way and shut up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Confirmation hearings are ongoing. Scores of political fights are underway. One fight is especially awful. Naturally, Democrats are behind it.\r\n\r\nThe fight is over a painting \u2013 by an 18-year-old Missouri student. Supposedly, it represents police and community relations in Ferguson. In the painting, police are depicted as pigs. Who are shooting black people.\r\n\r\nThe student is a constituent of Congressman William Lacy Clay \u2013 Democrat, Missouri. Who had the painting hung in a public hallway in the Capitol building. Just steps away from on-duty cops protecting the building.\r\n\r\nOver the last few days, various Republican Congressmen have taken the painting down. Brian Babin of Texas, Dana Rohrabacher and Duncan Hunter of California, and Doug Lamborn of Colorado took it off the wall and returned it to Congressman Clay. Each time, it\u2019s been rehung.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Large.gif\")
The Congressional Black Caucasians got involved. When Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond was asked if a security detail was needed for the painting, he said: \u201cWe might just have to kick somebody\u2019s ass \u2013 and stop them.\u201c\r\n\r\nCongressman Clay says he \u201cdoesn\u2019t disagree or agree\u201d with the message in the anti-police painting. He says he supports law enforcement. He says he\u2019s just fighting for the student to be able to express himself.\r\n\r\nSorry. Doesn\u2019t pass the smell test. Democrats are looking for a fight. This is a deliberate provocation \u2013 and a vile insult to every law enforcement officer in the country!\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
