The statue of President Teddy Roosevelt at the entrance to the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan will be removed amid widespread protests over racial inequality and police brutality in the United States, a report said Sunday.

The statue, depicting the former president on horseback while flanked by a Native American man and a black man, has stood at the museum’s entrance since 1940, the New York Times reported.

Isn’t that the Night at the Museum museum? How will everyone be saved without Teddy?

I think Teddy was against folks like my grandfather pouring in at the time from other countries.

Who cares? He was a good president and an important part of American history. And at the time he might have been right about everyone pouring in.

I wasn’t there.

This is insanity.

That movie will ‘go with the wind’, too.

The level of insanity we’ve reached is amazing to me.

Someone flew a small plane above Talladega Speedway today with a Confederate flag and the message - DEFUND NASCAR !

Apparently, there are still a few left who will stand up to the mindless WOKE mob taking over the United States.

NASCAR is dead, hopefully.

*************

Teddy will soon be erased from our history. And then others will follow. The mob is never satisfied.

If you see it full-on, it looks like a statue of three proud men, nothing remotely racist about it.

Which means it actually offends the feminist Karens at the museum.

Teddy might be okay with that.

He hated Jefferson and probably would have hated the Rushmore memorial because he is depicted next to Jefferson.

Teddy blamed Jefferson for the Civil War. He also hated Jefferson’s economic ideas. He was more of a Hamiltonian.

I was just there. The statue didn’t hurt me. It’s not capable of hurting me.

Where did you get that idea?
He was never anti-immigrant. He just wanted immigrants to be Americans first and foremost.
One of my grandfathers came from Sicily and lived in New York State

He was alive when Teddy Roosevelt was governor and President. He loved the guy.
Roosevelt was a great American and a man’s man.

CALL THE MUSEUM AND TELL THEM TO GO TO HELL YOU ATE NOT GOING THERE ANYMORE

Not while PDJT is in the White House, however if that becomes no longer the case, looks like they can take out all 3: Washington, Jefferson & Roosevelt without touching Lincoln.



Of course, by that time I'm sure President Lincoln will be on "the list" as well for some reason or another.
