Redwood City Scrubs Black Lives Matter Mural After Trump Supporter Asks to Paint ‘MAGA 2020’ on Same Streethttps://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/07/19/redwood-city-street-mural-blm-trump-maga/REDWOOD CITY (KPIX 5) — Many communities across the country are displaying “Black Lives Matter†street murals. Redwood City was one of them until last week when the city quietly removed it.
Redwood City resident Dan Pease got permission from city officials to paint the “Black Lives Matter†sign on Broadway as part of a Fourth of July public art celebration. The city even supplied him with yellow poster board paint to do it.
...
But, last Thursday, the city washed the sign away after being contacted by local real estate attorney Maria Rutenburg, who said that if the street was now a public forum, she wanted a sign of her own reading “MAGA 2020.â€
“I saw “Black Lives Matter†sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt and I figured that’s gonna be a new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out, too.†Rutenburg said.
I do not know anything about Maria Rutenburg, but I suspect she is in some way
uncancelable.
