Brett Kavanaugh Is a Sexual Predator (all images courtesy of Bell Visuals)
Artist and activist Robin Bell, founder of Bell Visuals, is known for making bold political statements, artistically projected onto public buildings. Yesterday evening, the Washington, DC-based multimedia artist projected a rotation of indictments against Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who has been accused of serial rape since his high school years by multiple women. The statements shined bright on the E. Barrett Prettyman United States courthouse, Kavanaugh’s professional base in Washington, DC.
The light projections rotated between “Brett Kavanaugh Is a Sexual Predator,” “#StopKavanaugh,” “#BelieveSurvivors,” “Brett Kavanaugh Must Withdraw,” and “Brett Kavanaugh Lied Every Time He Testified.”
Bell told artnet News, “I’ve been getting a lot of messages and I can tell you [the projection] really helped people who feel hurt right now and are trying to not allow someone like Kavanaugh to be in power, to continue to be in power, and get to the Supreme Court.”

Everything an ‘artist’ does is art ?
Yes. but not all of it is good.
The RageHead regressives habitually lie, so they must call others liars.
They steal, so they must call others thieves.
They hate, so they must call others haters.
They rape, so they must call others rapists.
They murder, so they must call others murderers.
They have no recognition of reality, of responsibility, of consequences.
The RageHeads are children playing with fire, and they don’t even know what fire is.
I need a focus here – who are you talking about? Don’t assume the reader understands the voices in your head.
ffarkle is venting that progressive leftists accuse others of what they themselves are doing.
This artist and this artist’s ilk are not searching for the truth. They are shallow busybodies.
Christmas lights are hardly art.
Art folks are so goofy. They love making noise. Go artists!!
This artist should bring this evidence to the Senate immediately.
I can only hope that this ‘artist’ gets sued, loses EVERYTHING they’ve EVER worked for, as a lesson in what this country was founded on; our principles, our constitution and our laws. How despicable of a person would you have to be to put something like this about someone on a public building, with NO evidence, corroboration, or anything else? I hope this boomerangs on this crass, obviously liberal piece of garbage. Hope karma pays them a visit x 10.
your use of “liberal” betrays your truth.
Um, okay, whatever THAT’S suppose to mean!
Feel free to define and explain your post. We’re ALL waiting…..MY TRUTH is that Ford was paid. Yes, we all saw, on video, Sheila Jackson handing a white envelope to Ford’s attorney, RIGHT THERE IN THE PROCEEDINGS! Liberals don’t even TRY to hide their corruption and lies. I used the word LIBERAL intentionally because liberals have a HISTORY of lying, corruption, and other nefarious things.
What a delusional pr*ck. Sentenced in the court of public opinion by a jury of imbeciles. Go Brett.
Accountability is a two-way street. FBI should investigate Ford’s history. Why did she scrub her social media past? California social justice warrior? Trump derangement syndrome? If she is lying, PROSECUTE and put her away. Women should think twice before falsely accusing.
