The White House shares a video clip showing a traveler praising renovated gilded statues in Washington, D.C. The arts, titled “Arts of War” and “Arts of Peace,” reportedly cost $5 million. According to reporting, the clip features a comment from the traveler describing the statues as “beautiful.” Other public reactions to the renovation are not included in the White House’s posted footage, with critics described in other reviews as calling the statues “gaudy” and “tacky.” The Independent reports that the selection of comments in the White House clip presents only favorable feedback, omitting more negative responses. The overall story focuses on how the reaction video is edited and which viewpoints are shown, rather than disputing that the statues were renovated or their reported price.
