Vandals in Chicago spray-painted a statue of George Washington overnight with messages in red paint on three sides reading, “Slave Owner!”, “Burn the Whitehouse down” and “God bless AmeriKKKa”, reported Alexis McAdams with WLS-TV, via Twitter. A white KKK hood and cloak were also placed over Washington’s head.

Meanwhile on 51st & King Drive. Somebody put "Slave Owner" and "God bless Amerikkka" at a statue I believe may be George Washington. Also a KKK hood hanging from a tree in the beginning. Welp. 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
