Democrat Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh was recently captured on camera removing images from a wall in the state capitol. The pictures were images of America’s founders and were part of an exhibit put up by Prager University.
Maybe it’s just me, but the first thing I thought of was leftists removing posters of missing Israelis after the October 7th attacks. People on the left seem to think this type of behavior is completely justified.

Cavanaugh ripping down its Founders Museum exhibit at Nebraska’s state capitol on Wednesday.“Why would an elected official take a tribute to American history off the wall of the capitol?” PragerU asked in a follow-up X post, sharing images from its exhibit, which included writer Phillis Wheatley, the first African-American author of a published book of poetry.The conservative organization’s Founders Museum exhibit, in partnership with the White House, celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States and features portraits of Founding Fathers, among other historical figures, as well as key events in the American Revolution.

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen called her behavior ‘shameful and selfish.’
Cavanaugh responded to an inquiry from KETV News, claiming she was just enforcing Capitol rules about images on the walls:
Cavanaugh believes the governor’s tweet is a distraction from the real issues Nebraska faces. She told KETV she is a stickler for the rules, and those rules do not allow items to be displayed on walls outside of senators’ offices…The senator defended taking the portraits down, citing the rules and regulations of the State Capitol. Rule 4.07 states that displays are limited to the first-floor rotunda and that no leafleting is allowed within the State Capitol or on Capitol grounds.

Just for reference, this is the person we’re talking about.
