Biden revokes Trump order to punish statue vandals
BBC News ^ | May 15, 2021

Posted on 05/15/2021 7:44:56 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Joe Biden has revoked a string of proclamations by Donald Trump, including an order to punish vandals who destroy monuments.

Mr Trump issued the order amid last year's social justice protests as statues were being defaced or toppled.

Mr Biden also rescinded Mr Trump's plans for a sculpture garden to honour American heroes.

And he canned a 2019 proclamation that sought to bar entry to immigrants who could not afford health insurance.

Mr Trump issued an order in June 2020 instructing the federal government "to prosecute to the fullest extent" any person "that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue".

The proclamation - which singled out "rioters, arsonists and left-wing extremists" - was a popular talking point for the Republican president at his rallies.

Mr Biden also took down Mr Trump's order in October 2019 that immigrants must prove they could cover medical costs before being allowed into the US, a policy that was quickly blocked by a federal judge.

"My Administration is committed to expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare," including for non-citizens, Mr Biden said as he revoked that proclamation.

On Friday, Mr Biden also scrapped his predecessor's orders taking aim at social media "censorship" and for all US foreign aid to be branded with a logo reflecting "the values and generosity of the American people".

To destroy America.

That is the Biden/Harris agenda.

Twofold:

1. Orange Man Bad
2. It green lights the continued destruction of American history.

Maybe those elusive “white supremists” should start pulling down statues!

Can’t have anything indicating that the Endless Riots were worse than the so-called 4-hour “Capitol Riot”.

Wherein people took photos of statues, rather than toppling them.

They are all stompy-foot and whiny about anything Trump did. They will repeal Trump’s EOs just because Trump signed them. These are petulant children who got trophies as kids despite never winning any competition.

You cannot change to Marxism until you destroy the past history of a nation, it’s founding story, and it’s values.

The march for total control of our lives continues.

The elite, like the kings and queens of the past sit in the castle ( now capitol bldg)
getting rich while they dictate to the masses who were stupid enough to fall for old Joeys act, or petulant enough to be “upset” by someone who would speak the truth about politicians.
