A giant poster of Russian President Vladimir Putin was draped along the side of the Manhattan Bridge on Thursday afternoon.
The massive banner featured the Russian leader in a suit and tie against the backdrop of the country’s flag along with the word “peacemaker” emblazoned at the bottom.
At least two people unfurled the politically driven banner around 1:45 p.m., witnesses said.
“We were just at our desks, we have some large windows from our office and we just saw it going up,” Quinn Formel, 27, whose office building in Dumbo faces the Manhattan Bridge, told The Post.
“These two guys … they were struggling for a little bit, but eventually got it [the banner] up,” he said.
Formel added, “We realized it was Putin and it was the Russian flag and it said ‘peacemaker’ and then after that
we were all confused about what this is supposed to be saying or expressing — it’s not very clear.”
Heath Raymond, who works in Dumbo, said, “I turned around. I was in my office and it was just hanging there.”
“
Everybody thought it was interesting, but nobody really got it. Nobody understood the political message or whatever message was behind it,” said Raymond, an executive producer at a production studio.

This is more than run of the mill low-info voter...
This is about the truly effing ignorant...and how easily they are manipulated by the Democrat-Media Complex.
In no way does this end well...
