Federal authorities arrested a former three-time Olympian after he reached into the algae-filled Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to see what it felt like.
David Hearn, 67, became a talking point on Friday among conservatives who claim the algae bloom in the Reflecting Pool—worsened after President Donald Trump’s attempt to turn it “American blue”—is the result of secret sabotage by political opponents.
“I didn’t vandalize anything,” Hearn told The Washington Post after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.
