    They aren’t honouring them. It’s literally a giant turd to make fun of them. That’s the whole joke.

        I don’t know, I reread it and that quote on the plate sounds pretty sarcastic to me. “To loot, urinate, and defecate through these hallowed halls to overturn an election” sounds more like a dig than actual reverence to me.

          It’s an action that is celebrated by the insurrectionists and those that support them.

          I have a hard time believing the artist/people that placed it aren’t supporters. It’s an extremely misguided thing.

          And as for whoever approved it? It’s the freaking national mall, some decorum is warranted. “It’s just a joke, bro” doesn’t really work here.

            The article quotes the permit application, which calls Pelosi’s desk symbolic of the integrity and democracy which the rioters desecrated.

            “Overturn an election” is a dead giveaway that they are against the insurrectionists. That’s not a phrase that supporters use.

            And they’re being made fun of for it.
