WASHINGTON (D.C.) – The U.S. National Park Service is working to remove red graffiti from the Lincoln Memorial after one of the columns was spray painted with “F— Law.”

It was discovered at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

An NPS monument preservation crew is apparently using a mild, gel-type paint stripper to safely remove the paint. After the gel is applied on the paint, it sits for an hour and then is rinsed with clean water. The crew may have to use several applications, but treatments will be applied as necessary until all of the graffiti is removed.

Another act of vandalism in silver spray paint was discovered on a Smithsonian wayfinding sign in the 1400 block of Constitution Avenue, the National Park Service said.

The vandalism comes a day after a Confederate monument was toppled in Durham, North Carolina. Police are identifying and charging the vandals, or “protestors” as Big Media refers to them.

A Confederate monument in Baltimore also was vandalized on Monday, the Baltimore Sun reported. Someone poured red paint on a 114-year-old statue of a dying Confederate soldier embraced by a winged figure of Glory.

The United States Park Police is investigating the incident; anyone with information is asked to contact them at 202-610-7515.
