DC Mayor Bowser had city workers Friday paint the words 'Black Lives Matter' on the street that leads to the White House where protesters have been demonstrating following George Floyd’s death in police custody.

This comes several days after Trump ordered the U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops forcefully removed demonstrators who were peacefully protesting outside the White House on Monday evening. The crowd was dispersed so Trump could walk out of the White House to St. John’s Episcopal Church for a photo-op in which he held up a Bible.

Bowser blasted Trump for what occurred, tweeting,"I imposed a curfew at 7 pm. A full 25 minutes before the curfew & w/o provocation, federal police used munitions on peaceful protesters in front of the White House, an act that will make the job ofThe painting of the phrase Black Lives Matter came as Bowserfrom Thursday in which she requested that he withdraw"all extraordinary federal law enforcement and military presence from Washington, D.C.

What a wast of money they could have done something besides that I'm glad I don't live there

BLM, BOWSER LAME BITCH!!

Yeah I'm sure Trump had nothing to do with such an inappropriate act.

Who knew you could political statements on public property?

Does that include black police officers murdered in the line of duty? Does that include the black youth who die each weekend in chicago during gang fights? Seems you are very selective on which black lives matter and only those who fit your narrative gets a mention!

Another waste of taxpayers money by a Democrat for no good use and no accountability for her actions, defund Democrats

Good for you, Mayor, good for you and thank you.

From space. She showed Trump. You go girl, but Trump did not kill Floyd. The states blood runs blue.

THIS WAS AWESOME!

More cops died today. Hope all the Democrats and MSNBC are happy

VANDALISM ... nobody wants this graffiti I. The street. Dusgraceful

What about the giant DEFUND THE POLICE painting that they did? Disgusting

Hefner_Online She's great.

It’s a shame she removed the group of unarmed National Guard that were cleaning up graffiti.

Embarrassed for America. Treasonous action in front of the people's house! No one has that right, I'm appalled. Appalled at the street sign, treatment of our National Guard. Stretching the Constitution, I'm sure, crackerjack reporting as usual. I'll do my own

Nice look!!!!

Kneel to your black masters

✊🏻

George Floyd was a criminal thug. Never a hero. Bad cops are in custody. Black lives do not matter to other Blacks.

Absolute garbage. I really hope black people realize this 'movement' has set them back another 30 years. The 2nd white flight will happen, police will retract again, and this will hurt all of the vulnerable black population. Really sad, I hope it was worth it.

JFC... DC didn't ask for them to be there. trump ordered them there so.... Not DC's monkey!! Pay for your boy donnie!

Think of the money pissed away on that nonsense

It’s awful that WE have to go through so much because of the color of our skin! When there’s people in China protesting BLACK LIVES MATTER you know it’s an issue with racism! Even they are sick of y’all shit too. This is America land of the NOT free!

DC Mayor Bowser most racist action : All lives Matter.

Mayoral vandalism.

I think if they used that money for books on Fatherhood, and passed them out, it would be money better spent.

Will she rename White House as Black House soon! ?

Someone in White House dislikes it!

BEAUTIFUL.

I love that she had this done, an amazing, high visibility, reminder that black people are people. Their health, their safety, their creativity, their intelligence, their courage, their compassion, their rights, their lives MATTER.

America could learn something...but I doubt they will

It's not enough. Policy change now!!!!!!

MSDNC is FAKE NEWS

Yes mayor thank you thankyou for what you have done we need change Mayor

Absolutely brilliant. She’s read Pelosi’s playbook. I’m here for it!!

This is a beautiful work of art🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟨🟨all the way down to 1600 Black Lives Matter Ave. Great job Mayor Bowser. 🙌🏽BlackLivesMatter

The DC Mayor is all about Politics and getting people riled up. The statistics show that more white men were killed by police in the last year than black. Of the 10 black people killed, only two were unarmed. Absolutely wrong what happened to George Floyd but the fact ignored.

The President is angry with the protestors. Trump said, “BOB! THESE PROTESTERS WON’T CARRY TRUMP SIGNS! ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MAKING NOISE & KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT! I CAN’T SLEEP IN THE BUNKER ANYMORE LIKE MY HERO! NOW I KNOW WHY HE TOOK PERVITIN! CrystalMeth_Persausion

Sounds like a good use of city resources. What is wrong with you liberal hacks. You’re all fn crazy

🤦‍♂️ wow 🤦‍♂️

The Mayor supports defunding the police?

Needs to add rock band sound systems, not being used at concerts - he’s shoved them back far enough they can’t be heard in the WH

Shouldn't the rest of the country have a say in this? Doesn't Congress give them $$$ for their budget? Whose $$$?

Would the mayor of DC paint the street White Lives Matter? Would she paint Latino Lives Matter? How about Asian Lives Matter? Indian, Gay, etc. No she would not. She is the racist here. She is driving a wedge between the people. She is playing dirty politics.

Disgusting! This is America's capital, NOT Mayor Bowser's city. And to name a plaza 'BLM Plaza' is an insult to all American's. I wonder if she would name a plaza in a tribute to ISIS?

That fixed it. Now there’s no more rasicm in America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

By far the most Black lives taken each year is from abortion—paid for by Pelosi and Biden. Where is BLM?

AllBlackLivesMatter AllLivesMatter

And they wonder why we have a divide

Is this street the one that tRumps motorcade takes to and from the WH?

This is a EU PM's Sonneborn's reaction to Impotus45. Explains itself. The world is watching.

That fixed it

All Lives Matter

That is a Super Cool show of support.

Black man murdered by cop In Minneapolis. Democrat police chief Democrat mayor Democrat Governor Let’s go protest Trump !! Brilliant

LOVE IT!!

Looks tacky

Every city needs to do this! BLM TrumpResignNow

But we can’t fill 3 month old potholes?

I loved it!!💕

SOOOOO.. She only represents BLACK PEOPLE? HMM I am with the protesters, Mr. Floyd was KILLED. BUT THIS MAYOR REPRESENTS OTHER MINORITY COMMUNITIES She is not right doing this. SHE IS DIVIDING EVEN MORE.. 😎🧐🤓

Really DC mayor is to terrified to do her job and can't headoff the radical NAZI Left fast enough. complete failure across the board!

Stunning! Bravo MayorBowser!

All lives matter assholes

Ridiculous! BLM is a racist organization that spreads hate and racism

Isn’t it fabulous?!! Eat your heart out Trump!

DC Mayor should be fired immediately, waste of resources promoting his cause!

BLM is only a ploy by liberals to make blacks think liberal mayors give a chit about them. BLM only matters when a black is killed by a white cop in a liberal city! BLM doesn’t mater when it is a black cop, innocent black in their neighborhoods! BLM isn’t for all blacks!

Yeah everyone knows

Also 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is now known as Impeached President Lane

BLM has rioted, burned buildings including a church, looted and destroyed businesses, they fight you if you do not agree w them, killed cops, destroyed cars and the mayor celebrates them? Names a street after them? This lady needs removed from office

should have painted 'George Floyd was a criminal and drug addict'

Wtf are these people doing?! What said it doesn’t matter? Why no one say you should not loot?

Great!!! What's next? Communism street? 😂😂😂

Brilliant

Not to make lite of any mans life. But why is it that black men are arrested in the first place? If it was a criminal offense, shouldnt they stop committing crimes? End the problem.

...and due to the choice of canvas on which to paint that, now many people would have to walk over that, and vehicles ply over that...

Twitter blocks my tweets because they denounce Trump. Trump brings Zuckerberg big advertising dollars, whose greed helps to keep Trump in the White House..

Awwwwww!!! Wait until the orange man returns and sees it. What do you think he will order to be done about it Any guesses?

Very cool

Just like an ungrateful NYGovCuomo who made out of state medical volunteers pay NY taxes, MayorBowser refuses to pay for hotel for Utah National Guard. Her actions are pathetic but this is how liberals roll. Pathetic!

She used money from Itah Nat Guard she kicked out of their hotel because of a budget issue. Lol

So painting streets equate to reversing stupid policies that keep blacklivesmatter lives in bondage! Nice try stop pacifying and do something. Over 50 years promising and doing nothing.

I support the cause however this is a total waste of money and not helpful

She also renamed the street Black Lives Matter Plaza. I love this level of petty ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

You go mayor bowser, stand your ground

While Trump builds another barrier in front of the White House!

That's BlackLivesMatter last gasp....the demonstrations are going to end.

Fake bs for the camera

I hear trump can see Mayor Bowsers message from space.

That’s because what? Graffiti always adds to the beauty of a city? Democratic leaders are really milking this for all its worth

Beautiful

So that's the first lie. Peaceful protestors would not have been removed. Wherever BLM & ANTIFA are chaos & mayhem ensues. The President needs protection.

Washington DC paints a giant 'Black Lives Matter' message on the road to the White HouseThe massive banner-like project spans two blocks of 16th Street, a central axis that leads southward straight to the White House. Colin Powell - For 20 years, I have been asked about finding WMDs. I have now found WMDs here in D.C. on Pennsylvania Ave. These WMDs include racism, hatred, bigotry, corruption, bribery. People ask if we should now use the military and I say 'yes' to take-out those WMDs. Yes, you should always cheer on communist front groups that paint their giant logo in the streets of Washington DC. This is right up your alley. can we see this from the air please? Thanks
