A sarcastic monument to Donald Trump’s “bold proclamation” that some of the white supremacists at the 2017 Charlottesville, Virginia rally were “very fine people” appeared Monday morning a few blocks from the White House, Huffington Post reported. The plaque on the base of the bronze-looking tiki torch reads: “This monument pays tribute to President Donald Trump and the ‘very fine people’ he boldly stood to defend when they marched in Charlottesville, Virginia. While many have called them white supremacists and neo-nazis, President Trump‘s voice rang out above the rest to remind all that they were ’treated absolutely unfairly.' This monument stands as an everlasting reminder of that bold proclamation.” The faux monument bears a similar tone to one that was installed last week beside the Capitol by a group called Civic Crafting, Huff Post also reported. That one, which depicted poop on Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s desk, “honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election.”
