The controversial ‘Cops as Pigs’ painting that has hung in the Capitol complex since June until taken down last week by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and re-hung by patron Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO) Tuesday morning has been taken down again, according to Fox News reporter Chad Pergram.
Pergram posted a photo of the blank space on the wall of a tunnel connecting the Cannon House Office Building with the Capitol Building where the painting used to hang. Pergram noted that Hunter said he did not remove the
painting this time.
