Theodore Roosevelt statue removed from American Museum of Natural History
A statue of Theodore Roosevelt that has stood in front of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan for more than 80 years was hauled away Wednesday, photos show.
The bronze monument depicting the nation’s 26th president on a horse flanked by an African man and a Native American man — which has sparked protests for glorifying colonialism and racism — was yanked out with a crane just after midnight, leaving behind only its concrete pedestal.

All part of the destruction of America. It will probably be replaced by another statue of a BLM “Gentle Giant” criminal thug with a long list of felonies.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
they should have taken a cutting torch and cut the black and Indian off the statue.
What has been put in as replacement?
George Floyd?
Just a guess.
It is. Biden and this gang he calls an administration has to demonize most of us. We are confederate rebels. Anything sacred will be used against us.
They have not one clue who teddy Roosevelt was.
I hope it’s in a safe place so it can be returned shortly.
This has even my leftist New York cousins embarrassed. It’s too far
No, it’s the Natural History Museum. They’re putting up a statue of an ape to celebrate evolution...or something...
Absolutely astounding how that guy predicted all that, but I guess the creation of all totalitarian states follow the same path. And the quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” is happening right before our eyes.
LOL! Now THAT would have been a perfect idea! WHY DIDN’T THEY DO THAT???
From the way T.R. is rendered in that statue, I don't see how he managed to squeeze in an 8 hour per day workout in to his schedule.
The are using 1984 as a model!
Maybe they’ll replace it with something more appropriate for them...how about a “My Little Pony” statue?
In the article it says a descendant of his agreed with the decision. Just another example of the old saying shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations is correct.
TR V, an imbecile.
The weirdos have gone too far now. Theodore Roosevelt was a great man. The people of New York should be ashamed that they allowed this to happen. I am not the only one who feels this way!
I thought the Chinese did that decades ago at the Peking Man museum in China.
Symbolism, can be the key to misunderstanding sometimes
and the odd part is that the “woke” charges against figures like Teddy Roosevelt come from the “progressives” on the Left, and Teddy Roosevelt was one of the early American Progressives and early American Progressive political champions.
Does this mean “ Night at the Museum” becomes a banned movie?
Guess Robin Williams doesn’t have to grovel to the Woke for playing TR
