Pirro Drops the Hammer – Felony Charges for the Woman Who Spray-Painted the WWII Memorial

 The spray paint read “Clean Hands Dirty $.” The target was the World War II Memorial — one of the most sacred sites on the National Mall, honoring over 16 million Americans who served and the more than 407,000 who died. The suspect is Melissa L. Farris. And on Friday morning, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro filed two felony charges against her: Depredation Against Property of the United States and Destruction of Veterans’ Memorials. She is in custody. Each charge carries up to ten years in prison.

Trump’s reaction on Truth Social was equally direct: “OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL WAS JUST HIT BY SPRAY PAINTING VANDALS. THERE CAN BE NO GREATER INSULT TO THOSE AMERICAN HEROES WHO DIED IN WORLD WAR II. First the Reflecting Pool, now this. We are on their trail! Where do these animals come from???”
