The West Hollywood City Council unanimously passed a resolution Monday night calling for President Donald Trump’s twice-vandalized star to be removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to a Monday USA Today report.

From the mayor of West Hollywood:

This is not the first time Duran has waded into national politics during the Trump tenure, as he awarded Stormy Daniels the key to the city in May.
