White House blames ‘leftist activists’ for Reflecting Pool snafus as crews put up fencing to block off the algae- and peeling paint-filled water

The White House attributes damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's paint and algae issues to 'leftist activists,' with six arrests and seven citations claimed. Fencing was installed earlier than planned to prevent further damage ahead of the 4th of July. The Interior Department stated it would release unverified images of alleged vandalism.
