A 43-foot-tall naked statue of Donald Trump was recently installed in Las Vegas, but while this piece of art is just a spectacle for some, Republicans have condemned it, and in the process, It’s crushing Harris and the Democrats.
The towering 6,000-pound foam display was seen near Interstate 15 and was part of a “crooked obscenity tour,” Las Vegas television station KTNV reported.
The meaning behind the title “Crooked Obscenity” derives from “controversial aspects that can be attributed to both the figures represented and the nature of the installation itself,” KTNV reported. An anonymous artist told the outlet that the installation “serves as a commentary on transparency, or lack thereof, in politics, and challenges viewers to think critically about political influence.”
It was unclear Tuesday whether the statue was still standing.
