At a protest in Portland, Ore., on Thursday, a bronze statue of George Washington was vandalized, beheaded, draped in an American flag and lit on fire.

Meanwhile, in Seattle — located in a state named after our now-headless first president — Marxist revolutionaries have been busy running their new “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” (CHOP) zone, a dystopian socialist takeover featuring barricades, armed security, police bans and endless streams of socialist propaganda.

Strangely, while statues are being vandalized across the United States, protesters in Seattle have chosen to spare a notorious statue glorifying murderer Vladimir Lenin.

Of course! Lenin, being the father of communism, is truly loved by all the young and old communist that call themselves liberals, progressives and democrats.

The fact that Lenin caused the deaths of 60 - 100 million of his fellow countrymen doesn’t seem to matter.

I keep saying that, if blacks and liberals (democrats) want to erase all symbols of America’s racist past, then...

they’ll have to erase the democratic party.

Their lives didn't matter.

One of the best things a white person could do for a black is to hire them. Or frequent their business.

Criminals always want to destroy the evidence. This is the biggest cover-up in history.
