Missouri’s 1st District Congressional Representative Lacy Clay isn’t rolling over on flimflamming Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter’s unsanctioned removal of St. Louis teen-artist David Pulpus’ painting “Untitled” (above) from the hall outside his office,
As reported by the Washington Post Clay’s called the cops.
Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) said his staff met Monday with members of the Capitol Police to press theft charges against Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.), who removed the painting Friday and delivered it to Clay’s office as he left a Republican conference meeting where the artwork was discussed.
“He had no right to take that picture down,” Clay said Monday just off the House floor. “It’s thievery.”
