A vandal burned or etched “8647” into the lawn.
The U.S. Park Police are partnering with other law enforcement to investigate a vandal’s defacement of the National Mall lawn with the message “8647,” commonly understood as a potentially violent threat to remove President Trump as the 47th U.S. chief executive.
The Department of the Interior, which oversees the National Park Service and its officers, stated, “The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated. Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable.”
White House Spokesperson Davis Ingle stated, “Anyone who engages in or endorses political violence or assassination culture must be condemned in the harshest terms possible.“
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department earlier this year over his social media photo of seashells arranged to form “8647.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For God’s protection over President Trump and members of his administration.
- For U.S. Park Police and other law enforcement officers as they investigate the vandalism and threat.
- For discernment for federal judges as they hear cases surrounding threats of criminal violence against political officials.
