00:00The Washington Monument. The White House. These are just a couple of landmarks you might expect
00:05to see while visiting D.C. However, just days before the 2024 presidential election,
00:10the National Mall has gotten a new addition. This number two. The statue appeared overnight,
00:16placed in such a way to have the Capitol building as its backdrop. And while its appearance was
00:20initially a mystery, the accompanying plaque reads, quote, This memorial honors the brave
00:25men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021, to loot, urinate,
00:31and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election. It goes on
00:35to recount how President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as unbelievable patriots
00:41and warriors. This monument stands as a testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.
00:47Even the desk upon which the poo rests has a Nancy Pelosi nameplate. Clearly a tongue-in-cheek
00:52installation poking fun at the crowd that was duped by Donald Trump into an insurrection at
00:56our Capitol on January 6th, 2021, many of whom now sit in federal prison for their crimes.
01:02While no one has taken credit for the statue just yet, a group called Civic Crafted LLC
01:07filed a permit for a week-long stunt starting when this poo arrived on the hill.
