"SPEAK"

Political artwork by Robbie Conal of a grotesquely detailed Oliver North with his mouth closed tight, above the word "SPEAK". This references his involvement in the Iran–Contra affair of the late 1980s, involving illegal weapon sales to the Khomeini regime in Iran. During the scandal, North was a National Security Council staff member. Conal is known for his striking, unflattering, and uncomfortable depictions of politicians in his artwork.
