И Ганди досталось

Unknown miscreants vandalised the statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside the Indian embassy in Washington DC with graffiti and spray paint, prompting the mission to register a complaint with the local law enforcement agencies.

The vandalism took place during nationwide protests against the custodial killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. The incident is reported to have taken place on the night of June 2, officials said.

The Indian embassy has informed the state department and registered a complaint with local law enforcement agencies, which are now conducting an investigation into the incident.

Трамп таки оказался прав

Вот и до Вашингтона дошла очередь:

Leaders at the church that George Washington attended decided that a plaque honoring the first president of the United States must be removed.

Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia will take down a memorial marking the pew where Washington sat with his family, saying it is not acceptable to all worshipers.

“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe [??!] or unwelcome," leaders said, a reference to the fact that Washington was a slaveholder.

Конституцию и Декларацию независимости тоже выкинуть, чтобы кто-нибудь не почувствовал себя "unsafe"?

Впечатляющие списки
