California Trump course green damaged by environmental activist vandals
Early Sunday morning a group of environmental activists vandalized a green at Trump National Golf Course, Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., as first reported by the Washington Post.
A self-proclaimed “anonymous environmental activist collective” sent a 64-second video to the Washington Post, which showed the group jumping a fence and walking down a hill bordering the course and then using garden tools to carve the message, “NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS.” into the course’s fifth green. The group also provided a statement to the Post that said the vandalism was a response to the Trump Administration’s “blatant disregard” for the environment.
The Los Angeles Times reported that authorities received a call from a course employee after 8:30 a.m. that “someone had dug into the grass” at the property, the Los Angeles Sheriff Department said in a statement. The Sheriff’s Department are still investigating the incident and estimated the damage to the course at $20,000.
The damage on the green was covered with tarps by Monday, according to a video posted by Reuters.
