Man Sues after New Orleans Demands He Take Down Anti-Trump Mural

Source: Newsweek



When Neal Morris commissioned his friend to paint an anti-Donald Trump mural on the side of his warehouse, the real estate developer figured the finished product might cause a stir in his community—it would, after all, spell out the controversial words President Donald Trump uttered in the infamous "Access Hollywood" leak.

He just didn’t expect to be threatened with jail time over it.

That’s exactly what happened, according to a lawsuit filed this week by Morris and the American Civil Liberties Union. Soon after word of the mural spread in November, Morris said the New Orleans Department of Safety and Permits sent him a violation that threatened “a maximum file or jail time for each and every day the violation continues plus court costs.”

Morris was incredulous is because, unlike its source material, the mural itself doesn’t include any profanity. Cartoon images supplant the more vulgar words Trump uses in the tape.

...are so shockingly degenerate that the government must try to CENSOR the truth. Republicans are attempting to hide their skanky values from public view. Disgraceful.
