Night Light Lounge removed a painting this Saturday depicting Adolf Hitler in full Nazi regalia, wearing a "Make America Great Again" baseball cap.

The painting, titled "Hat Sales Are Up Again," by artist Matthew Abelman (who paints under the name "Slim Pickins"), was hung at the Clinton Street bar on Saturday at 1:30 pm for an art opening..

Night Light co-owner Christopher Gutierrez tells WW the painting wasn't removed for its politics. "I mean, it's Trump," he says.
Instead, customers found the painting disturbing because it was an image of Hitler.
"We got complaints about its shocking visuals," Gutierrez says. "The image of Hitler is strong for some people. It's a lot to ask people to enter a space that's not safe for them."

Maybe the guy who ran the bar was a bit heavy on the social justice side, but I'm sure his patrons just didn't like the idea of that creepy ass portrait staring them down while they got drunk. I sure as hell don't want Hitler eyeing me up while I'm intoxicated.
 
Wonder what they'd think of the art in the Old Town Ale House in Chicago.

The owner is a bit avant gard- I can't post most of it here- but he'd throw you out on your ass if you complained about safe spaces.

Here's my favorite, entitled 'Blago cavity search'.
