A Philadelphia city attorney was caught on surveillance video participating in anti-Trump vandalism, but is still on the job, Philly.com reported.

Duncan Lloyd, a 32-year-old assistant city solicitor, can be seen on video wearing a blue blazer and drinking wine as he holds up a cellphone to photograph another man wearing a hoodie as the other man spray pains "F--- Trump" on the wall of an upscale grocery store.

The vandalism occurred Friday night. No arrests had been made in the case as of Thursday morning, and Lloyd remained a city employee, Philly.com reported.

"It's still working out," Mayor Jim Kenney said. "It's certainly hateful, and inappropriate, and unacceptable . . . but people are human beings, and they make mistakes, and it's a dumb mistake. "It's hateful graffiti, hateful graffiti is never acceptable, whether it's a city employee or not."

"We do not condone this type of behavior from our employees," First Deputy City Solicitor Craig Straw told Philly.com. "To my knowledge, Mr. Lloyd has already contacted the Philadelphia police and is cooperating with them. We will decide on a course of action once we obtain more information about the investigation."

Area Republicans are having fun with the news, according to Mediaite.

"If the image of an upper-middle-class city attorney clad in a blazer and sipping wine while vandalizing an upscale grocery store with an anti-Trump message strikes you as perhaps the most bourgeois sight imaginable, that's because it is," local GOP chairman Joe DeFelice said.
