I am surprised it took this long to be honest.
Complete morons.
Are they going to ban the Johnny Cash and June Carter song too?
These people have all lost their minds. Time for complete and total separation.
It will be renamed the “Marx and Engels” holiday dinner. More fitting.
Will there be a yearly listing published so we know the folks “in” and the folks “out”?

scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.
Shouldn’t the ENTIRE Demonrat Part be scrubbed then under the same guidelines, they were and always have been the Party of RACISM!?
Wilson was a virulent racist. Roosevelt did nothing about segregation.
And they intend to add a second “o” to the spelling of the state name.
The ‘RATS tried to throw God out of their last “convention” so I guess this can be expected from those lowlife bass turds.
The dims , here in Missouri, have dropped Jefferson and Jackson in favor of former kkk member Truman.
Roosevelt set up internment camps for Japanese and Japanese-Americans. The liberals never seem to mention that fact. As they decry that those camps existed, they never say who was to blame for them.
Truman was in the KKK??? Really???
Well OK, their choice. Now they can erase all the Sally Hemings tales as well, it never happened.
Democrats Rename Their Party Because of Its Racist Past
Democrats will now refer to themselves as the “Progressive Party” in all correspondence from this day forth.
If they were true to their actions they would rename themselves the American Socialist Party.
New name: The Al “Lollipop Head” Sharpton Dinner
Connecticuto? Doesn't have any snap, but then dems never have had any sense of taste.
There’s already talk of tearing down the Jefferson Memorial. I believe it will happen. I’m just glad I had the chance to visit it before it came down.
