Statue of Jeffrey Epstein Appears at Albuquerque City Hall

Anonymous protesters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have mordantly trolled President Donald Trump over his fight for the preservation of the Confederate legacy.

A life-sized statue appeared outside of Albuquerque City Hall on Wednesday. As the mysterious statue was erected outside of the government building, protesters told reporters, “Maybe we just need more statues of people like Epstein because that’s historical too.”

News outlets later learned the statue belonged to the Antlion Entertainment Art Collective. One of the anonymous protesters spoke with KRQE’s Annalisa Pardo about the political stunt offering an explanation for the statue.

“You know, so many statues are being taken down, but you know, people are saying that they’re bad people, so you know maybe we just need more statues of people like Epstein because that’s historical too,” the anonymous protester told Pardo on Wednesday.

The protester added, “So we maybe need statues of people like Epstein. Maybe schools can even have statue parks with people like Hitler, and Mao and Lenin just so that we can really remember history.”

The latest statue, which Pardo describes as a “satirical political statement” comes just days after Trump verbalized his disapproval over the removal of statues as he defended the history behind them.

The president has also argued that protesters do not know the history and are unaware of what they are trying to remove. Namely, he argued the history of Ulysses Grant.
