The so-called “pig painting” on Capitol Hill that sparked a partisan tug-of-war touching on race, politics and Americans’ views on police officers has been quietly removed. The painting -- which depicts a police officer as a pig or warthog with his gun drawn on a protester -- was removed overnight Tuesday by the office of the Architect of the Capitol, which oversees the Capitol Hill complex. "Ultimately, the Constitution will prevail,” said Clay, who now has the painting on display in his Capitol Hill office. Hunter, strolling past the presser, insisted the painting violated the rules of the art competition. From there, the painting became a political football – with other Republicans stepping forward to remove the painting, only for Clay’s office to put it back up again.
