It is not the first time a monument to the pilgrims has been damaged in the Massachusetts town.

The Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, UK in September 1620, with 12 "pilgrim fathers" bound for a new life. The ship landed in what became "New Plymouth",

Massachusetts on 21 December, at a spot now referred to as Plymouth Rock.

Images posted to social media show several sites now covered in red paint including the rock, a pilgrim statue and four scallop roll statues.

Someone spray painting some graffiti doesn’t really move the needle for me in terms of important national news.

In many US cities graffiti art is even somewhat allowed in certain areas.
