Biden’s Eviction of Churchill Bust Signals Weakening Ties With UK
Daily Signal ^ | 1/26/2021 | Nile Gardner

Posted on 01/26/2021 7:36:53 AM PST by Onthebrink

In his inaugural address, President Joe Biden pledged to “repair alliances.” Yet one of his first moves in power was to remove a bust of the late British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office, as President Barack Obama did in January 2009.

This was a slap in the face for Great Britain on Day One of Biden’s presidency and sends the wrong signal to America’s closest friend and ally.

Winston saved Western Civ—he should be a fixture everywhere.

Churchill is an interesting bellwhether.

Obama removed the bust.
Trump brought it back.
Biden removes it again.

The Globalists hate anyone who supports nationalism. Churchill was a patriot who loved his country.

biden..sheesh..he didn't know it was there and didn't know it was moved...the poor guy has no clue...he's just led around by his handlers..What's being done to him is just sad...

on the other hand, he's been in office 40 something years and nothing has changed, except the balance in his chinese bank account...so screw him, he deserves to be treated like the place holder he is..

Didn’t Boris just way that he would rather work with Biden than Trump? Biden just gave him the finger.

The Left views Churchill as the very model of white supremacist, anti Muslim nationalism. Bad enough they have to tolerate Biden’s faux religiosity act, but they draw the line at a bust of Churchill. Its how the clowns think.

Ask Joe Biden ‘where did the Churchill bust touch you?’

What do you have against winston, Joe?

Yes, I recall something about how Churchill offends modern day political correctness.

I don’t see how liberals today can admire anyone from the past, because everyone in the past would have offended today’s political correctness in some way.

“Churchill was a patriot who loved his country.”

And Churchill said “We must build a kind of United States of Europe.”

If the bust of Winston Churchill pays some bribery money to Hunter does he get to remain on his perch in the WH? Maybe replaced with the bust of President Xi.

That’s OK, when Britain goes full Muslim, President Harris will re-establish ties. (/s)

Oh, please. No-longer-all-that-Great Britain got along fine with Soetoro after he removed Churchill's bust.

Besides, it's probably for this sort of thing that God forbade graven images. Just one more reason to pit human against human.

Note that one of the first things obummer did was remove the bust of Churchill.

And most major appointees by Biden are obummer ex-appointees.

Doesn’t that tell you something?

This really is his third term.

Bull.

The UK’s Deep State helped install BiteMe.

The bust thing is theatre.
