NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is still considered a hero to many on the Left, although Geraldo Rivera likely nailed it best when he dubbed Snowden a “sniveling punk ass traitor.” Snowden eventually found asylum in Russia, but his image mysteriously appeared in New York’s Fort Greene Park early this morning, where it was installed on top of a memorial to Revolutionary War Soldiers.
The bust went up just before dawn and has already been removed by parks workers, after temporarily being covered by a tarp.
