🇺🇸 Someone took a box cutter and carved a 350-foot gash through the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's rubber liner, spray painted "8647" along the way, and did it ten days before America's 250th birthday celebration.
7 arrests, 18 police reports, and now Interior Secretary Burgum on Fox promising full prosecution and calling it the equivalent of throwing paint on Lincoln's statue.
The pool is now fenced off ahead of July 4 fireworks. Repairs won't be done in time.
Whatever your politics, slashing a 350-foot gash through a 1922 national monument with a box cutter 2 weeks before the country's 250th anniversary is a genuinely stupid way to make a point and these 7 people are about to find out exactly how seriously the federal government takes it.
