A mysterious bronze-colored monument has appeared across the street from the U.S. Capitol grounds “honoring” the Jan. 6 insurrection with a massive turd.

The monument depicts the turd sitting on a desk with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) nameplate on it, with a plaque underneath reading:

“This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election.

“President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as ‘unbelievable patriots’ and ‘warriors.’ This monument stands as testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.”

It’s unclear who installed the monument, which appeared on Capitol Hill less than two weeks before a presidential election which could return former President Donald Trump to power.

The pro-Trump mob, egged on by repeated lies from the former president, broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an ultimately futile effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Some members of the mob reportedly spread their feces throughout several hallways and offices in the Capitol building.

The Justice Department has convicted more than 1,000 people for their role in the insurrection, and has charged Trump with crimes related to it. Trump will not go on trial for those crimes before the election, in part because of a Supreme Court ruling that delayed the case.
