Historical monuments near the White House were vandalized on Saturday evening by pro-Palestinian protesters.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, thousands of pro-Palestine protestors flocked outside the White House on Saturday to protest the Biden admin’s support for Israel in their war against Hamas.
Videos from the protest that have surfaced on X show pro-Palestine protesters placing the Palestinian keffiyeh (checkered black and white scarf) on a statue of Benjamin Franklin on Pennsylvania Avenue and several other statues in Lafayette Park were spray painted with pro-Palestine slogans.
Another video shows a statue of Andrew Jackson holding a Palestinian flag.
