WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities say a noose was found hanging from a lamp post outside a museum in the nation’s capital, the third such incident in recent weeks.
U.S. Park Police Sgt. Anna Rose said the noose was found Saturday afternoon outside the National Gallery of Art.
She said her agency is currently investigating how it got there.
Tourists found a noose last month on the floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. A few days earlier another noose had been found on the grounds of the Hirshhorn Museum, which features contemporary art and culture.
The three museums are all located on the National Mall.
It’s all about the tone. Ask any Republican in Congress. Nothing to see here.
“Just a concerned Deplorable wanting to make sure the museum had the proper items to hang the really heavy paintings.”
The African American Museum makes sense. None of the rest do.
Art and culture are things they fear. Wait until they find out libraries house books.
I know this.
It’s one thing that causes me despair.
