The Interior Department added fencing around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Tuesday amid reports of vandalism. “With the increase in vandalism by leftist activists, the fencing is going up earlier than originally planned to ensure no more damage is done to this historic site,” an Interior Department spokesperson told The Hill, noting that fencing is usually added during Fourth of July celebrations to ensure public safety.
