As Cassandra Fairbanks reported on Tuesday One Grand Gallery in Portland is facing online backlash after they put up an image of President Donald Trump being brutally assassinated in their store window.
The violent graphic is in public view where children will be exposed to it and features the caption “F*ck Trump” below the image of his throat being sliced.
On Wednesday the owner of the building who rents space to One Grand Gallery told the artists to remove their assassination porn.
Big League Politics reported:
The owner of Total Performance Converters, which rents space to One Grand Gallery in downtown Portland, Oregon, says he was furious about the image of an ISIS-style beheading of President Trump being displayed on the front window of his building.
I spoke with the building owner today, Mark, a veteran that fought for our country, who told me he’s just ready to get back to work…
…Mark said the image on the window went up at some point on Friday, in preparation for the exhibit’s opening reception to take place later that night. Having been off for the weekend, Mark didn’t see the image again until he went in to work this past Monday. He said as soon as he saw it, he went to call the One Grand Gallery owner to ask him to remove it.
The “artists” removed the image this week.
I spoke with the building owner where the infamous "F*ck Trump" image was displayed–here's what he had to say about the image & it's removal.
