Asked to describe his actions, Hearn said: “I reached in there, and I was able to grab the end of that flapping piece, the already peeling piece. It was still attached to the bottom. I didn’t remove anything.”

Hearn is a three-time Olympian who competed in the canoe slalom. He won two world championships in whitewater racing before retiring from active competition in 2002.

Trump posted Saturday night that Park Police have arrested “multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool.” Park Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment about additional arrests.

The century-old Reflecting Pool has become controversial following the president’s decision to refurbish the concrete basin with a new liner. As government workers in recent days tried to combat an algae bloom in the reopened attraction, a new problem surfaced: chunks of the pool liner broke free. The Washington Post observed a sheet of the pool’s surface — painted in “American flag blue,” a color selected by the president — floating in the water Thursday.

A few hours after Miller’s video went public, the president in a late-night Truth Social post blamed “Radical Left Lunatics” for “Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool.” Trump promised the algae problem would be quickly resolved and other repairs made early next week.

The president also accused Jonathan Karl of ABC News, who has reported on the pool’s mounting problems, of “trying to rip the rubber off of the surface” of the pool.

In 1996, Park Police arrested Hearn for canoeing on the Potomac River after heavy rains left it near a record high. A federal judge dismissed charges of failing to obey a lawful order because the river where Hearn was canoeing is governed by Maryland not the federal government.

On Friday, Hearn said he was detained for almost five hours at a Park Police facility on Hains Point before being released shortly after 9 p.m. He was reunited with his bike and rode home.

i can already see it, itt esl shill makes a bunch of weird death/rape threats

>Billions of dollars in welfare fraud
>Gavin Newson being investigated for embezzling hundreds of millions
>Literal rape gangs being covered up
>CNN devotes over four hours of news coverage to the reflecting pool
>TDS so bad that the reflecting pool is attracting liberals like a shrine

oh, and itt esl shill also gets upset because people reported news he doesn't like

Paid ESL shill shows up automatically

>>1520559
lol. Get fucked.

>>1520563
Yes, Trump literally blaming the opposing admin for something he did is an example of TDS, which stands for, That's crazy, these retarded maga faggots have biden Derangement Syndrome.

>>1520563
>All stuff that didn't happen.
Except for Trump giving the Iranians 300 billion as part of his surrender to him.

>>1520563
also, only TDS libruls hate israel
netanyahu dindu nuffin

>>1520559
He didn’t fucking do anything, and even if he did, how the hell is this something that gets you immediately arrested?

>Make a big deal about how horrible the reflecting pool looks
>Hand relining job to contractor in April and tell them to get started before you even agree to a price
>Contractor strips and relines the pool, but the lining doesn't take. Strip and reline a second time. Still doesn't take.
>Strip and reline a third time, you tell them "Fuck it good enough, I want that shit filled in time for my rasslin' themed birthday party!"
>Contractor shrugs and fills in the pool, doesn't give it time to cure properly
>Algae immediately starts blooming in the pool because it's a giant pool of stagnant water in the summer heat
>Hire your convicted criminal buddy who paid you a bribe through your reelection fund to clean up the algae
>Convicted criminal buddy half asses the job, dumps in chemicals that dissolve the already weak lining
>Chunks start floating to the top of the pool
>Algae comes back anyway
>Start arresting people picking at the chunks of dissolved lining
>Try to blame the entire thing falling apart on them because cause and effect just kind of go whichever way you want
>Normal people see right through your bullshit, the retard base eats it up like they have every ridiculous lie you've told for the last decade

>>1520581
Aside from the fact it wasn't taken care of by the previous admin. That and since it dRumpf, there's now a bunch of bullshit liggerals are bitching about.
A far cry from 2019's Hunter Biden's penis, Ashley Biden, and tRump fucking up COVID (Despite 2021 being the deadliest year, without complaint), driving up gas prices higher than the Iran war without a stupid fucking war, two years of double digit inflation.
So, let's go ham on the reflecting pool shit that no one really even cares about, not even the liggeral oinkers from shitsville.

>antifa attacks reflecting pool with algae
>"lol drumpf btfo'

>>1520582
>no one even cares about this humiliating moment guys
>trust me

>>1520583
Tell Trump that hot summers are antifa bioweapons. This is how we get him to deal with climate change.

>>1520584
Biden didn't.

The entire pool is literally going to need to be resurfaced because shit's peeling up. You can't fucking vandalize trash. What a fucking joke. What's next, arresting WH staff for emptying the bins?

>>1520587
Arresting the WH janitor for """stealing""" the silverware that Trump threw out.

>>1520581
>>1520585
Don't forget basic science since the dark blue trump personally selected more easily absorbs heat, warming up the water which is why the algae bloom occurred.
Any scientist could have told him that if he didn't have Project 2025 fire them all.
Classic fascist tactic to blame a non existent enemy for his own incompetence and corruption, but that's trump.

I'm starting to think Democrats did sabotage it as it's been part of their (endless list of) grievances since May.

>>1520591
>Don't forget the science I heard that wasn't the actual science.
>Men can be women if they think it hard enough is science!
Fucking goons. Why must liggerals make everything fake, gay, and retarded to get dRumpf?
Can you fucking quit?

Painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue will not by itself cause a measurable increase in algae growth, nor will it solve existing algae problems; algae are driven primarily by water chemistry, nutrients, temperature, stagnation and filtration rather than the color of the basin [1] [2] [3]. Industry and park experts quoted in contemporary coverage say resurfacing and coatings are largely cosmetic unless paired with fixes to circulation, filtration and nutrient inputs that actually control algal growth [4] [5].

>>1520602
Clearly the Russian shills trump hired were wrong, and so are you.

>>1520559
Literal Stalinist behaviour.

>I'm a trans obsessed faggot that cannot help bringing up my fetish. I have to scream gender affirming care is anti-science in the face of literally every major organization of physicians on the planet telling me there is science behind it. By making this claim, I claim to know more about human anatomy and physiology than every doctor.

>I have to do this, because if I don't fixate on other people's genitals and controling what they can do with them, I would be forced to confront what a massive, stupid faggot I am.

>I'm going to go on an autistic rant about paint, but why the fuck should you believe anything I say? I talked with authority about gender affirming care and am objectively wrong, according to literally all of the doctors.

>And even if what I say is right, how the fuck is this a win for me? So the PedoTUS whose shitty balls I gargle picked paint for bad reasons that wouldn't have caused this disaster OR prevented it, like he was trying to? So I am just praising him for less than nothing, for failing the same way I think the person I'm criticizing is? He's as bad as some dumbass on 4chan by my own fucking standard.

>God damn I'm a fucking moron. And I hate LGBT people, so I should fucking kill myself to take one out, because no straight man focuses on fake pussy like I do!

He can argue that he didn't cause any damage in court. There were plenty of other actual vandals arrested. Don't vandalize national parks, it doesn't fight Trump in any way.

>>1520563
Trump raped kids and the republicans are still covering it up
