Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
The incident came a day after an environmental activist group spray-painted the famous Wall Street Charging Bull.
The group was reportedly also behind the vandalism at a Tesla showroom in Lower Manhattan. Video shows two maskless men scrawling “F—k DOGE” and “We do not consent” on the store’s windows with fluorescent red and green spray paint.
