Church Hill home takes political insults to new heights

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - It's a canvass of contempt that spares few. Democratic voters may want to take a detour around the corner of 25th and Cedar Streets, after a man covered much of his century-old home in scornful spray paint.

The two-story tableau takes on left-leaning politicians, including Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine and Terry McAuliffe. Dozens of demeaning phrases are painted from the ground to the roof, with Bill Clinton compared to Satan, D.C. described as Hades, and the Trump-Pence ticket, praised.

"It's aggressive, and it's kind of crazy," said neighbor Mondre Ricks in an interview Wednesday. "I've seen the guy on his ladder painting, and this all came together pretty fast."

Three years since the first iteration of the political protest, the most recent display is even more scathing, covering more of the home's walls. Morris eventually painted over the 2013 graffiti when Richmond first challenged the homeowner.

There is a similar individual in my neighborhood who--although he doesn't go to the extreme of painting his house--he always has a yard-full of garish banners, posters and signs that leave no doubt as to his political leanings.

I can see where this might be a code violation, but it is also clearly political speech.
