Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo, racist and bottom-feeding scumbag

This is why most Special Forces soldiers could never be in politics. Had I been a "congressman" I would have ripped that picture off the wall, trashed it, threw it at Lacy Clay and punched him in the face.

Lacy Clay, you are nothing but a racist and a bottom feeding scumbag. It amazes me that anyone, especially LEO's would be your "security" detail.






GOP congressman takes down colleague's sponsored 'art' depicting police as pigs

A Republican congressman took matters into his own hands Friday and personally removed a painting depicting police officers as pigs that a colleague had allowed to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol complex.

“I was angry,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told FoxNews.com. “I’ve seen the press [reporting] on this for about a week or so. … I’m in the Marine Corps. If you want it done, just call us.”

Hunter said he walked over to the artwork Friday morning with a few colleagues and unscrewed it. He then delivered it to the office of Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., the congressman whose office had allowed the piece to be displayed. The painting, hanging since June, was done by a high school student who had won Clay’s annual Congressional Art competition.

The piece drew outrage, however, from law enforcement groups and fellow lawmakers.

As for whether the painting will stay down, Hunter said: “Lacy can put it back up, I guess, if he wants to … but I’m allowed to take it down.”

Clay’s office has not yet responded to a request from FoxNews.com for comment.

Rep Clay represents his district in St. Louis perfectly.

Yet another person who lives under the protections of those he mocks.

I see him as a clown who doesn't know how to respect those that protect and serve him.

...pumping the brakes but the car just wont slow down



Some of our nations elected officials are an absolute disgrace.
I'm not going to refer to them as leaders anymore - just elected officials.

Clay has full intentions of rehanging that painting. What needs to happen is a protest in the 1st congressional district. The Protest should be all St. Louis LEO, who are assigned to the 1st Congressional district to refuse to patrol said district, until the painting is removed.
