In perhaps one of the most stark sights of the nation's ongoing government shutdown in Washington DC, a man clutching a South Carolina state flag was seen mowing the lawn at the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday.
In a photo snapped by Twitter user @sallyhs, the man is shown pushing a lawnmower outside the memorial and holding the flag.
"Spotted outside Lincoln Memorial," said Sally. "Random dude mowing."
Fellow user @philfarley responded to the photo and said the very same man was spotted with a leafblower just outside the World War II memorial on Tuesday night. Once again, he was holding up the Palmetto State's banner.
The man himself has finally come forward. Multiple news outlets have confirmed the man's identity as Chris Cox, a Mount Pleasant native who is living in Alexandria, Virginia.
