A 43-foot statue depicting a completely nude Donald Trump randomly appeared in Nevada over the weekend.
The nude effigy of the Republican presidential nominee was suspended from a construction crane on Interstate 15 just outside of Las Vegas for most of Saturday and Sunday, according to the New York Post.
One resident identified as Jason, told KTVX that the statue made him “scared to come to work, because I felt like, what if I’m going to get shot or noosed up just because of the way I look?”
“I don’t know why the election should have to affect people at home so badly,” he added.
The Nevada Republican Party dismissed the statue as “deplorable” and “pornographic” in a statement.
“The Nevada Republican Party strongly condemns the deplorable statue of President Donald J. Trump recently hung from a crane along Interstate 15,” the party said. “While families drive through Las Vegas, they are forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue.”
The structure has been taken down.
The foam-and-rebar art installation, weighing about 6,000 pounds, is titled Crooked and Obscene and is expected to travel to other cities as part of a nationwide tour, the anonymous artist responsible for the structure told The Wrap.
