A Total Mural Failure: Kamala Harris's Campaign Hits a Brick Wall in Philly

Warren Squire | 3:50 PM on October 19, 2024

Watching the Kamala Harris campaign is like watching paint dry. Now, some sketchy surrogates of Harris have taken that truth to a whole new level in Philadelphia where they garishly graffiti-tagged a brick building with one word for their one-note candidate. While some say the mural is just flat-stupid, others say this latest AstroTurf attempt is all surface and no substance. It doesn't take an art degree to know this brushwork is making some non-fans of the Democratic presidential hopeful bristle.

Here's a look at the un-American graffiti.

But was it really 'spotted' or is something else going on here? You know they say a picture paints a thousand words but Kamala's name isn't the only writing on the wall.

So, let's check the fine print ... er, fine paint in this case.

“Spotted” like it organically showed up 🤣 pic.twitter.com/FgZ9mfylNR

Aha! So not 'spotted' but plotted. Turns out the only thing organic about this wacky wall art is the latex paint. Well, that's one lie uncovered. How many layers does this painted hoax have?

Could someone else's name be biding its time just below the surface, perhaps?

Did they paint over Biden like real life?

Everyone's an art critic. But one online artist took it a critical step further. He added his own funny flourishes and touches with some computer-aided 'finger-painting'.
