A controversial painting on Capitol Hill depicting a police officer as a pig will be removed after sparking a scuffle between Democratic and Republican lawmakers, the architect of the Capitol Stephen Ayers told Fox News Friday. Ayers determined the painting violates the House Building Commission's rules and will be removed Tuesday after the federal holiday. Most recently, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., took it down late Tuesday afternoon and brought it to the office of Democratic Rep. Lacy Clay. Clay once again hung it up, saying he was "an expert at hanging artwork." Rohrabacher called the painting an “insult to all police.”The painting was hung last June in a tunnel between the Cannon and House Office Buildings at the Capitol.
