A number of social media users came across an image on 15 August 2018 which purportedly showed the monument at Mount Rushmore bearing four presidential visages to have been defaced with political graffiti:
This was not a genuine photograph of the famous South Dakota landmark, and no protester was arrested for supposedly marring the monument with spray-painted graffiti. The meme was a fabrication created and posted by the Facebook page for "America's Last Line of Defense," which is part of a network of junk news websites and Facebook pages that engage in political trolling under the guise of providing "satire."
