Kevin Posobiec later provided an update, noting that BLM protesters at the deconstruction site were reporting journalists to the police for asking questions— appearing to show hypocrisy after calling for the police to be defunded.

Speaking to his brother Jack from the scene, Kevin explained some of what Americans went through during those cultural-revolution style protests that swept through the United States during Covid.
“We don’t want cultural Marxists coming around and making demands anymore,” Kevin said from the noisy scene. “They made demands back in 2020, saying that they need to take down all the statues, they tried to cut Jackson’s head off, they dragged Franklin’s head down the street, they wanted to make demands saying that every DA and mayor should drop any charges and any arrest that come from anybody in this rebellion lead by Black Lives Matter,” Kevin said.
German Vigil, a spokesperson for the District Department of Transportation, said that weather permitting, he estimated the project would take six to eight weeks to complete. "DDOT will closely coordinate with local stakeholders to ensure a smooth process, and we appreciate the public’s patience as we work to enhance this important corridor," he said.
On March 4, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser stated that the plaza’s "evolution" had been "long considered" as part of DC’s America 250 mural project but emphasized that the city could not be "distracted by meaningless congressional interference."
She wrote, "We have long considered Black Lives Matter Plaza’s evolution and the plaza will be part of DC’s America 250 mural project, where we will invite students and artists to create new murals across all eight wards. The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a very painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference. The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern. Our focus is on economic growth, public safety, and supporting our residents affected by these cuts."
The mural, with the words "Black Lives Matter" painted in yellow, spans two city blocks, with letters standing 35 feet tall. It was created in the wake of George Floyd’s death, which sparked fiery riots across the country, including in the nation's capital.
