‘Free Gaza’ graffitied onto steps of Lincoln Memorial; DC authorities working to remove
The steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington were doused with red paint and a vandal also sprayed “Free Gaza” at the scene.
DC’s National Park Service is working to remove the paint.
“Vandalism was discovered in the area of Lincoln Memorial Circle and the Reflecting Pool,” the United States Park Police says in a statement.
“National Park Service conservators have begun the process of removing the paint this morning, though it may take multiple treatments over several days to remove all of it. The steps on the west side of the Reflecting Pool are closed to visitors while the conservation work takes place.”
