....
HUGH HEWITT: Let’s go to policy now. A very blunt question because you talk about going to every Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Indiana when you were running statewide. Should Jefferson-Jackson dinners be renamed everywhere because both were holders of slaves?
MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG: Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do. You know, over time, you develop and evolve on the things you choose to honor. And I think we know enough, especially Jackson, you know, you just look at what basically amounts to genocide that happened here. Jefferson’s more problematic. You know, there’s a lot to, of course, admire in his thinking and his philosophy. Then again, as you plunge into his writings, especially the notes on the state of Virginia, you know that he knew that slavery was wrong.

Yeah, let’s erase the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while we’re at it. come to think of it, why don’t we just erase America altogether.

God these Dim pervs just want to destroy anything good and righteous about our country.
Mayor Pete wants to see everything renamed for his personal hero, Harvey Milk.
This puke is growing more repulsive by the hour.
This Communist needs to be handed his hat.
I would love to see a young Andrew Jackson confront the queer.
from a clown whose name is certainly NOT memorable, with an intellect to go along with it— for a specific self serving agenda. BUTT- gig. New horizons in ‘rewriting’ history to suit the childhood stage age 6 anal fixate queers, who are so important.... to themselves.
Just go away herr mayor— you know less than nothing, no matter how much you tell yourself and others how smart You thing you are. I’m important, i’m ‘Butt-Gig” and I get press from idiotic notions.
Imagine being a janitor laundering sheets if Buttlover and his homosexual partner took residence at the WH.
Democrats erasing their own history and flushing it down the Memory Hole.
Sorry, Pete. It doesn’t work that way. And you don’t get to claim the mantle of Abraham Lincoln, either!
A lot of us : Erasing Pete Buttigieg Name ‘Right Thing to Do’
So, if Thomas Jefferson is deleted from history, then there is no “Separation of Church and State” establishment clause! It doesn’t exist in the Constitution, but Jefferson wrote a letter in 1802 regarding a “wall” of separation of church and state at the federal level in response to a query about state separation. Much later this was what atheists and others used as a pretext to tear down church artifacts in government.
No Jefferson, no stripping of God from government!
How very...Bolshevik of him.
