The View" co-host Sunny Hostin lamented the news about Washington D.C. removing its Black Lives Matter street paint while speaking on the “Behind the Table" podcast.

The 50-foot-wide mural sporting the term "Black Lives Matter" was created in Washington, D.C., following the 2020 death of George Floyd.

The mural, which covers two city blocks, was painted in 2020. A jackhammer began chipping away at the bright yellow letters on Monday morning.

Republican legislation threatened to withhold millions in federal funding if the city did not remove the Black Lives Matter mural.

The controversial mural, emblazoned on a downtown block of 16th Street, NW, in D.C. since 2020, is in the process of being deconstructed.

Construction workers began removing Washington, D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Plaza mural on Monday, after Mayor Muriel Bowser pledged to redesign the plaza in response to Republican threats to cut the city's transportation funding unless it was renamed.

As D.C.’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ Plaza continues to be ripped up from the pavement north of the White House, messages of support for the movement have poured across several blocks of neighboring sidewalks.
