Another monument has been erected mocking former President Donald Trump — this time in a key battleground state — following a series of activism art installations throughout the United States.
The third "monument" appeared Wednesday in Philadelphia and is a golden statue of Trump standing behind a statue of a partially nude woman. Huffington Post reporter Jennifer Bendery has been following the statues as they pop up.
The nude woman statue is entitled “Maja,” by Gerhard Marcks installed in 2021, the Washington Post reported.
The plaque reads: "In Honor Of A Lifetime Of Sexual Assault," and it cites Trump's "grab em by the p---y" comment he made on a hot microphone during a 2005 segment for "Access Hollywood." Trump bragged he couldn't control himself and would force himself on women, kissing them. He then said he could grab the women because he was a "celebrity and they let you do it!"
The same statue also reportedly appeared near another nude sculpture in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday. A MAGA fan and local candidate has already removed and damaged the statue, reported KOIN news.
Additionally, a statue mocked Jan. 6 insurrectionists and another highlighted the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Donald Trump calling them "very fine people." Both were raised in Washington, D.C.
A group called "Civic Crafting" filled out the permit with the National Parks Service to erect the monuments in Washington.
