But melting like soft-serve ice cream on a scorching summer day was not something its creator imagined would happen. Williams, a professor of art at the University of Richmond, understood the wax to have a melting point well above highs recorded in the District’s sultriest summers.

We’re back to “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”.
Sorry Abe, the modern Republican Party is not in your image…
Well actually, it is now…
Well, regardless of what the artist intended the piece to be about it’s now about climate change.
The sculpture in question:
It’s like the sort of thing they would show in a Looney Tunes cartoon to show how hot it was in D.C.
