Art Depicting Cannibalism Hangs In Podesta’s Campaign Office
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s New York office features an oil painting in which two men are preparing to eat another human.
The image, which was shown during a 2015 exposè on the Clinton campaign headquarters by Politico, was lent to Podesta by his lobbyist brother Tony.

The painting was specifically mentioned 9 months later in an article on Podesta by Time Magazine.
“On the wall in his office at Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters, campaign chairman John Podesta has an oil painting on loan from his lobbyist brother, who is an avid art collector,” the Time article states. “The image shows two men hunched over a dining room table, bearing knives and forks. On the table lays a man in a suit, who looks vaguely like Podesta.”
Podesta explained during the interview that he regularly tells colleagues that he would prefer to be the man with the fork.
“It’s better to be the guy with the fork than the guy on the table,” he said.
