Controversial Poop Statue Satirizes Jan. 6 Rioters on National Mall

The installation, featuring a bronze poop on a replica of Nancy Pelosi's desk, critiques former President Trump's praise of the Capitol insurrectionists.

The statue, called 'The Resolute Desk,' was installed on October 24, 2024, and will remain until October 31, permitted by the National Park Service.
A plaque on the statue sarcastically 'honors' the Jan. 6 rioters, referencing their actions and Trump's supportive comments.
Civic Crafted LLC, the group behind the installation, aims to highlight the destructive nature of the Capitol riot.
Public reactions have been mixed, with some viewing it as clever satire and others criticizing its timing before the upcoming election.
The installation is part of a broader commentary on the ongoing political tensions surrounding the events of January 6, 2021.
