Videos posted Friday to social platforms such as X show the mural by Chris Clark in the Historic West End of Atlanta being removed and turned into a blank slate. Furious internet users replied to the posts expressing frustration that it was being removed so quickly - only a few days after Harris' defeat.

Y’all really hate women that much?" one user wrote. Another added: "So the first female VP means absolutely nothing?" Though some felt it had no business being put up at all. "Why was there a mural of Kamala in the first place?" one user asked.
Later, Clark took to social media to address the issue. He wrote: “I don’t make the decision as to how long the murals stay up. I don’t have the info.
I just paint, but we go into [it] well aware that it won’t be up for an extended period of time.” DON'T MISS..

"There's a video circulating around the internet of it being painted over which was always the plan.
"The murals are meant to only be temporary advertisements, not last a life time." He said "trolls" had already been leaving nasty remarks on his social media pages "They are so happy and joyous to see it come down," he said of the trolls. "But you know what brings me joy? Being able to wake up everyday and do what I love for a living.
How many people can say that? "No matter who won or who you voted for, that mural is a part of history and I'm proud to have worked on it. On to the next.".
