Plymouth Rock, the historic monument marking the arrival of the Mayflower 400 years ago, was tagged with what appears to be red spray paint Monday, officials in Massachusetts said.
Several historic landmarks have been vandalized as the town of Plymouth celebrates its quadricentennial, Town Manager Melissa Arrighi said in an interview. A historic granite bench, decorative clam shells, a nearly century-old statue —"the Pilgrim Maiden" — and the National Monument to the Forefathers have all been targeted, Arrighi said.Sign Up

fortinowski My family came on the Mayflower. This December 20 will make 400 years. Read the Mayflower Compact. It is 1 page long . . . double-spaced.
It’s not even a good tag.
Shame
Pilgrims , Shmilgrims , where was the wall when we really needed it
TomBevanRCP What is the significance of '508'?
I remember being so disappointed when I went to see it. I thought it was going to be like Gibraltar. It’s a pebble.
Probably same people that remove confederate monuments.
People are idiots
No respect or decency in some people. I hope there is video to catch the thugs
$100 a DemocRat did this!
Why do trumpsters hate America so much!
TomBevanRCP Remember the rock fell on them and they didn't land on it
TomBevanRCP Why are you upset we brung them and we make money for the paint
I think the Red paint might have a clue who could've done it. Just saying!
TomBevanRCP
Don’t they have security or some cameras there? Sometimes I hate people. Just sayin.
Good, tear it down, along with Columbus day and all of the Confederate flags
Who cares, it’s just a rock
It's not like somebody blew up your cemetery to build a wall, or bulldozed your property to put in a leaky oil pipeline, or arrested you to keep you from fighting their trespass, I mean that would be really bad....right?
Obama thugs Antifa hit again
Jail and history lessons. Ungrateful ignorant.
This shows it needs 2 b placed probably behind protective glass w/24-hr monitor & guard. Sorry reflection of where America is , especially w/a president who disrespects American institutions daily.
Jail for life
Time to get the paint thinner and cloths out.
Millennials
Those rotten kids!
This was one of several public monuments defaced. It is vandalism, shouldn’t happen. It doesn’t seem to be an act of protest. There are reasons to question why this “rock” is significant. That discussion isn’t helped by random vandalism.
Red paint, GOP color, just saying.
Dirtbags
Vandals didn’t spray pant Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock spray painted vandals
1. As a Cherokee this does not fill me with the self righteous anger I think this is supposed to provoke. 2. The pilgrims actually landed in Provincetown first. 3. Blow up the rock build low income housing, supply small pox blankets. Isn't that the way it's done?
So sad to read the comments! Americans truly care about nothing but themselves and their wallets. Makes me ill!
Sad state of affairs.
Good
Freakin stupid kids or young men. No respect for anything.
It can be pressure washed
How sad! no respect for history
Poor liberals, so upset their dream of free stuff everywhere is going nowhere, they’re destroying all they can😂😂😂
Are people upset Liberals never get upset about vandalism... Personally I think vandalism should be punishable.
As a descendent of several Mayflower insurgents and in light of Trump plowing through, under and over a very real Native American cemetery for his propaganda wall, I say, good riddance to piece of white colonialist propaganda.
Plymouth Ma has its share of morons.
TomBevanRCP Pelosi was there today. I’d look at her very closely for this.
How Disgracefully
whyfund I don't support vandalizing historic objects, ever. As a Native American, however....I don't have any love for this particular historical object/monument.
Assholes
It has nothing to do with the Mayflower. It is just a tourist trap.
Society has fallen.
....
Sad that people are so destructive. No pride in anything.
whyfund That could be an art piece representing the decline of America.
Prolly some punkassed millennials.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T THE IDIOT CHIEF SHOWS IT WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE SHOW IT THE DAY OF R-E-S-P-E-C-T IS OVER LOOK AROUND COPS DON'T SHOW IT OUR LEADERS DON'T SHOW IT ITS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE I LOVE R-E-S-P-E-C-T PRAISE TO ARETHA
Redface!. 😊
Disgusting. How sad that someone would deface a national landmark.
Look a welcome sign for ALL immigrants!
Looks like russian
Hello, that paint looks a tad maga? 🤪
The Pilgrims actually landed at Provincetown, not Plymouth.
Probably Trump
America under attack from liberals.
Lots of evidence
Black ops and agent provocateurs. Move on. It’s a rock and a journalist looking for Street Cred.
Heres some P.R. for P.R. you had a very long celebrity life and that's cool man. Look at some legends we've lost and they went a lot quicker than 200 years bro. RIP
Probably a trump supporter 🤣
You can start and finish the investigation by rounding up every tRumper in the immediate area. One will have some telltale signs.
How disgusting !!!!!
Give them the traditional Pilgrim punishment. Tie them up and drop them in water. If they’re guilty they’ll sink and that will be that.
Very bad
Keep voting democrat. We’ll be living in Gotham before you know it
hate crime
I can guess the group of people who did this. They can’t stand that this country was founded by white people. So much hate in their hearts for slavery, which none of them experienced and ended 150+ years ago. Come on, move on with your life. Race is a social construct.
That just looks like an up close image of a small rock
🤷♀️
what? sully the majesty of Plymouth Rock (note the seam down the middle after townsfolk dragged it around and cracked it apart in 1774)
Myth
When you have a president who doesn’t respect America and its history why would citizens respect america and its history?
Don't they have video? This is 2020 see?!!!
Keep enabling libertads
stay classy
No camera caught that?
Thus marking the historic arrival of LONGDONG69
Disgusting.
THEY WERE PAID BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO DEFACE THE HISTORICAL ITEM
The one group that would get a complete pass for doing it if they did would be American Indians.
Democrats are rejoicing!!! They Hate our history & want to destroy & rewrite it with their lies.
'The pump don't work cuz the vandals took the handles'
Well that tiny-ass rock landed like a boulder on so many. This is just and good.
This has obnoxious high school MAGA kids written all over it.
what kind of a pos does that
we didn't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us.
