    I don’t know, I reread it and that quote on the plate sounds pretty sarcastic to me. “To loot, urinate, and defecate through these hallowed halls to overturn an election” sounds more like a dig than actual reverence to me.

      It’s an action that is celebrated by the insurrectionists and those that support them.

      I have a hard time believing the artist/people that placed it aren’t supporters. It’s an extremely misguided thing.

      And as for whoever approved it? It’s the freaking national mall, some decorum is warranted. “It’s just a joke, bro” doesn’t really work here.

        “Overturn an election” is a dead giveaway that they are against the insurrectionists. That’s not a phrase that supporters use.

        The article quotes the permit application, which calls Pelosi’s desk symbolic of the integrity and democracy which the rioters desecrated.

        And they’re being made fun of for it.
