Naked Clinton Statue Prompts NYC Ruckus

[DonViejo]

A naked caricature of Hillary Clinton with hoofed feet was erected in downtown Manhattan for less than three hours before an angry woman toppled the statue and entered into a public spat with the artist. The fight spiraled into a showdown between women trying to tear down the vulgar depiction—similar to a statue erected of a naked Donald Trump this year—and those defending the piece. Clinton was depicted with a Wall Street banker resting his head on her bare breast. The statue was located outside the Bowling Green subway station for the brief period of time it was up.

5. The trump statues at least looked like him. This is a poor attempt.

3. Derivative, poorly executed and requires explanation

Does not rise to the concept of 'art'...nevertheless, tearing it down abuses the concept of free expression.

Edited to add--why am I not surprised the 'artist' is a 27 year old guy who didn't get a permit first?

6. Meh. Knock yourself out. The moment has passed.

Poor schmuck doesn't know the difference between a statement and "me too!"

7. Republicans are never original, they always have to steal other people's ideas.
