This Statue Of Liberty Street Art Made MAGA Mad -- And The Artist Is Unrepentant

The artist of the Statue of Liberty mural depicting a crying and horrified statue is not sorry for her work. Why should she? “I stand by what I’ve done," Judith de Leeuw defiantly told HuffPost amid backlash from Trump loyalists, including one GOP lawmaker who said the piece "disgusts me." MAGA has their undies in a bunch because the depiction is CORRECT about what the regime has done to the USA.

As they clap and applaud dear leader on immigration, LIES about the economy, his inhumane policies, etc.

The sheer audacity of MAGAts in the House and Senate to get upset over an artist's depiction of what she sees happening in the United States shows her truthfulness for all the world to see. For what the world sees does indeed MATTER!

The United States is no longer a place where people want to come to visit, to emigrate to, to feel safe in, or to live in.

A 30-seconds search on Google will show you are wrong. The mural is real. It’s not AI. Now don’t you feel foolish for saying so?

She is young and she is driven.
Go to the HuffPost link., then you can get to her website.

They want us to ignore their murder and mayhem and destruction of our country and yelp when they are called out for being monsters.

10. My license plate is REW TRU.

Below it, I have a custom magnet that says: Demand Truth, Reward Truth.

To the left of the plate, I have one of those round white magnets with a black border that has SC in big black letters and South Carolina in smaller script below it.

To the right of the plate, I have another round white magnet with a black border that has MP in big black letters and Military Police in smaller script below it.

So, taken all together, it says SC REW TRU MP, Demand Truth, Reward Truth.

I'd post a pic, but I've never figured out how to do that, here.

I want a bumper sticker that reads: "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) overlaid on the image of the Statue of Liberty and an upside down American flag.

I am willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that 95% of self-avowed "Christians" won't get the reference and will instead get their outrage button pushed and be purple-faced screaming "why don't you just leave if you hate America?" (To which my standard reply is apt: "No sir./ma'am...I LOVE America, my hatred is reserved for YOU." )

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) commented on X, formerly Twitter, that the piece “disgusts me.” “If any country ought to be kissing our ass it’s France. My Uncle Roy fought and died and is buried there for their freedom,” he wrote.


Timmy whining that his uncle fought and died for France's freedoms as he takes away America's freedoms! You can't make this shit up! I bet Uncle Roy is rolling over in his grave watching his nephew and his ilk destroy America and her freedoms!

Bravo to the artist, her depiction is spot on!

Now, as always, it's up to US to fix it.
My Wife's uncle has a view of the North Sea courtesy of the last time Fascists thought they had a Swell idea. Thus new generation of Deplorables needs to be strangled in their sleep and buried very, very, very deep.
ZERO TOLERANCE!!!!!!!!!!
The Greatest Generation deserves NO LESS after their Sacrifice.
Honor their Sacrifice. End this Abomination!
