Emperor Trump popped up along a Philadelphia highway wearing his new clothes — as a 43-foot naked statue, that is — and a GOP official feigned outrage. "It's appalling!" cried the city's Republican chairman about the traveling art piece, aptly named "Crooked and Obscene" by its anynomous artist.
Which is rich, coming from 68-year-old Vince Fenerty, who in 2016 resigned from his position as executive director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority after accussations of sexual harrassment. And like Trump, he reportedly tried to offer one of his accusers "$150,000 to settle her complaint," which she refused. I guess "Crooked and Obscene" hits too close to home for this rightous gentleman.
So when it comes to transparency, in the form of a 6,000-pound sculpture (complete with an anatomically correct Toad-shaped appendage) to expose Trump for what he is — crooked and obscene — the scandalous Philly leader does not want to look. And thus, he immediately goes running to police to file an obscenity report, ordering officials to promptly take it down. (To check out the statue from earlier in the week, see video below, posted by WISN/ABC.)
From The Independent:
The 6,000 pound statue, dubbed "Crooked and Obscene," has been touring the US in recent weeks as Trump battles it out against Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
In September, it was erected in a fenced-in lot next to Interstate 15 north of Las Vegas.
It then appeared in Detroit and Phoenix before it was last seen in Madison, Wisconsin, on October 27, reported The Cap Times. …
However, they said the intention behind the statue was to serve "as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures," Arizona Central reported.
