Washington Monument closed after being vandalized with obscenities, red paint

Authorities did not say how long the restoration process would take.

The Washington Monument has been temporarily closed after a man vandalized the national landmark with profanities and red paint.

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the unnamed male suspect splashed the base of the historical monument with red paint and wrote an obscene message across the side of the structure.

“The United States Park Police has an adult male in custody for vandalizing the base of the Washington Monument with paint,” the United States Park Police said in a statement obtained by ABC News. “The area at the base of the monument will be temporarily closed.”

It is currently unclear what the motivation behind the vandalism was or if the message scrawled on the base of the monument was targeting anybody specific.

Is this because George Washington was a slave-holding, genocidal, imperialist, racist, masogynist white male of privilege - as the kids are taught these days?

Is this the "good trouble" people speak of?

The Washington Monument was ALWAYS closed when I've been there.

Depends on their race.
