This has become an all-out attack on history and heritage by the left.
Workers on Wednesday morning were power washing red and black paint apparently left by vandals from the Confederate Memorial in Forest Park.
A vandal or vandals apparently painted a black X and the phrase “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on the 32-foot granite-and-bronze monument along the park’s Confederate Drive just east of the Missouri History Museum.
It also appeared glass Christmas tree ornaments filled with paint had been thrown at the memorial, spattering it in red. Shattered glass was found at the base of the monument.
Workers were cleaning the paint off the obelisk about 9 a.m.
Police said just before 8 a.m., police were dispatched to the memorial after someone spotted it had been vandalized. Police said there were cans of spray paint left at the scene. Parks department workers were then sent to clean the marker.
