“They know how unpopular this is.”

I’m sure with the KKK, the removal of the state of the man who penned Dred Scott is not popular at all.

Bullcrap, a new poll from NPR and Marist shows 62% of Americans support leaving Confederate monuments intact, versus only 27% support for removing them.

And this guy was not even a Confederate. Removing a statue in place for over 140 years just to pander after some event in Virginia, and let's be serious it is pandering as this vote would not have succeeded a week ago, is disgusting.

Who's next? Andrew Jackson, surely. Sam Houston, maybe. George Washington in a decade or so when the Left's out of other figures.

While I don’t like removal of statutes in general, I don’t have a problem with removing Roger Taney’s statute. He was the Harry Blackmun of his day, twisting the Constitution to support Dem causes.

This new version of Kristallnacht should not be popular with anyone. It is going to lead to very bad things.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
