A mysterious bronze-colored, tiki torch statue has popped up in Washington DC in a “tribute” to Donald Trump’s infamous comments calling white nationalists who marched through Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 “very fine people.”
The satirical effigy – which sits only a few blocks from the White House on Freedom Plaza – was erected on Monday and depicts a large hand clutching a tiki torch, a symbol that has become negatively associated with white supremacy in the US.
