You mean like Grand Kleagle Byrd, whose statue is being cleaned in the capitol by a black man?

The House voted Wednesday to approve legislation to remove statues in the Capitol of people who served the Confederacy or otherwise worked to defend slavery, a moment sparked by the demonstrations for racial justice across the country.
The legislation was approved in a 305-113 vote. All of the "no" votes came from GOP lawmakers, while 72 Republicans voted to remove the statues.
“Just imagine what it feels like as an African American to know that my ancestors built the Capitol, but yet there are monuments to the very people that enslaved my ancestors,” Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), the leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, said ahead of the vote.
She also noted the fact that the legislation was being approved less than a week after the death of Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights legend who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington and suffered a skull fracture from state police at another march in Selma, Ala.
“I think it’s so appropriate that we do this also in honor of Mr. Lewis. The main honor for Mr. Lewis, to me, is to get a signature on the Voting Rights Act. But this is also a way to honor his legacy because what he fought for every day is the exact opposite of these symbols,” Bass said.

You can’t fix stupid. But damn, you can elect it.
It would feel like I was part of history, that my ancestors were part of a great enterprise to build a new nation dedicated to freedom for all men, and that I am proud to be a citizen of a great republic that corrects its past errors.
That’s what it would feel like.
The 72 RINOs need to go
Veto proof. Sigh.
“72 Republicans voted to remove the statues.”
I’m actually surprised it was so few.
Statues like Pelosi and Schumer?
Does that include LBJ and Byrd?

So they are starting down this road. There’s a lot of U.S. history you can cancel with this line of thinking. The question has already been asked, but I’m going to expand the question: Can a party that hates a large portion of our nation’s history really desires to preserve our nation?
To negate The Great Compromise is unAmerican.
The Marxist revolution marches on, and 72 rinos gives them a green light. The confederate statues are just the beginning.
And FDR.
What’s that saying about judging the past by the present’s standards?
Insert it here.
They need to remove the Democrat party then.

I’m glad Nancy was able to affix a clown nose to Hillary and Webster Hubble’s old law firm founder Uriah Rose—statue in transit.
The ABA will have to recant too.
Maybe Chelsea can condemn him too as too close for comfort to the Clinton brand name. Fulbright—the mentor—having similar statue problems to contend with is also in trouble.
The voters in America have no peer when it comes to that. Sooner or later, they will get those that they deserve. If you are still around when the voters elect enough to implement their Green Agenda, You will get to see what people who are starving to death on their feet look like. Their Green Agenda will starve them all to death. Some faster than others. Once they implement it, they have had it because none of them will have the intelligence to reverse it.
Wilson also was a raving bigot who resegregated the bathrooms in the federal building beside the White House. He hosted a 1915 screening of D. W. Griffith’s pro-KKK epic Birth of a Nation at the Executive Mansion. Wilson said: “It’s like writing history with lightning.” Wilson also said: “Segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit.” Why have Democrats not already pried this man’s name from Washington, D.C.’s Woodrow Wilson Bridge?
Will all busts and portraits of KKK Senator Byrd be removed also?? Just Askin!!
