Pete Buttigieg wants Thomas Jefferson events and buildings renamed
New York Post ^ | 18 May 2019 | Mary Kay Linge

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg called for everything honoring Thomas Jefferson to be renamed.

“Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said in a Friday radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt.

“There’s a lot, of course, to admire in his thinking and his philosophy,” Buttigieg said of the author of the Declaration of Independence and the nation’s third president.

“But then again, if you plunge into his writings, especially the ‘Notes on the State of Virginia,’ you know that he knew slavery was wrong. And yet he did it,” he explained.

Thomas Jefferson Memorial to be replaced by the Harvey Milk Memorial if Mayor Pete gets elected.

Also, historians will discover that the Declaration of Independence was actually ghost-written by Twinkie, a homosexual slave on the Jefferson plantation, and amends for this historical crime will be made throughout US schools.

Maybe we can rename them after famous faggots, instead.

That’s the only way to get a ton of stuff named for Zero.

Lest anyone forget it was Nikki Haley who kicked off this erasing of US history.

If you supported the Left on their assault against Confederate statues and memorials, you don't get to complain about this, much the same way if you support them on gay marriage you don't get to whine about their transgender push. They always start with the low-hanging fruit. After the Confederacy was always going to be Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Christopher Columbus, etc. Then Texas Revolution figures, then every Founding Father that owned slaves, and on and on and on with their cultural revolution.

They're not quite there yet, as George Washington is still too popular for them to seriously go after here in 2019, but give them another decade or so as they continue their metamorphosis into an ANC-style 'hate whitey' party.

Consider a bill submitted to the Virginia Assembly in 1779, proposing some liberal reforms to colonial laws: Bill 64, “A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments in Cases Heretofore Capital,” penned in Thomas Jefferson’s own hand. Seeking to make murder and treason the only capital crimes, it was progressive legislation for its day. Bill 64, a product of two years’ deliberation by the Committee of Revisors, grouped rape, polygamy and sodomy together, and prescribed the same punishment for each:

Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro’ the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least.

"you know that he knew slavery was wrong. And yet he did it"

If he sold his slaves they would have ended up in probably much worse hands. How can you judge a person's motives if you don't know any of the details?

Pete the catcher is an intellectual pygmy compared to Thomas Jefferson. And a disgusting one at that.

It’s high time this little Marxist screaming bender was shut up and for good. I’m beyond fed up with him ,Beto, AOC and the rest of the yapping, communist Children Of The Corn and the destruction and havoc they’re creating. They’re not ‘’bold’’, they’re not ‘’new’’ and ‘’committed social justice warriors’’. They’re violent, anti-American totalitarian little bastards who intend to destroy the freedoms and liberty out Founders created and generations of American have fought for, defended and died for. I hate them all.

The “progressives” are idiots..

Jefferson was BY FAR one of the most “progressive” of the founding fathers..

Stupidity can’t be fixed

So what are we supposed to call The Great State of Jefferson?

Mayor Pete will propose that we change the name from America to Wakanda.

I don’t remember where I saw it, but last week there was an article reporting that Buttigieg was polling poorly among blacks.

That’s probably what prompted this.

Maybe rename them George Jefferson, moving on down to the east side...this makes you dislike this maggot more every time he opens his mouth.
