Wyoming Town Hall Replaces Donald Trump Portrait With Photo Of Native American Chief
“We aren’t required to display signs of respect — our respect is earned, not demanded,” the mayor said.

A Wyoming mayor’s decision to remove portraits of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence from the town hall and replace them with a picture of a Native American chief has some community members up in arms.

Mayor Pete Muldoon of Jackson, Wyoming, directed town staff members to make the swap on June 5, saying there is no requirement to have a picture of the president displayed in the building.

“When the Town Of Jackson decides to honor such a divisive person, it is taking sides against some of its residents,” Muldoon said in the statement. “The Town Council has made no such decision, and until and unless it does, that kind of honor will not be bestowed.”

1. Wyoming is an odd state for this action but Jackson

is actually a tourist town and not as red as most of the rest of the State. Jackson is more like Laramie, so this may be okay. I'd like to think so.

5. Teton county is the only

county in that blood-red state to go for Clinton. Still, it's cool.

2. Glad to see that integrity still exists somewhere!
