A statue of a bare-breasted and goat-legged Hillary Clinton being groped caused a confrontation in downtown New York before police ordered it removed.
The statue, which depicts the Democratic presidential nominee with her breasts bared while being assaulted by an unknown bald man — thought by some to represent a generic Wall Street Banker — was erected Tuesday morning outside Manhattan’s Bowling Green station by artist Anthony Scioli, 27.
The statue, which also depicts Clinton standing on representations of her deleted emails and a map-like shape believed to
represent Benghazi, drew the attention of many detractors.
Officers with the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism unit arrived about 8:30 a.m. and ordered Scioli to remove the statue because he didn’t have a permit for the display.
A sign on the statue credited “Mini Master” and “Boogie Night Production” for its production.
The statue follows in the footsteps of naked statues depicting Clinton’s rival for the presidency, Republican Donald Trump, which were installed in August by anarchist collective INDECLINE in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Seattle.
