Governor Candidate Calls For Removal Of Stone Mountain Carvings

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA (CBS46) -

Former Georgia House Minority Leader and candidate for governor of the state Stacey Abrams is calling for the Confederate carvings on Stone Mountain to be removed.

Abrams tweeted that the carvings is a "blight on our state and should be removed". She also tweeted that "Confederate monuments belong in museums where we can study and reflect on that terrible history, not in places of honor across our state".

The Confederate Memorial Carving has images of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and were not complete until a dedication ceremony on May 9, 1970. Finishing touches were completed in 1972.

Abrams says the carvings have no place in the state and were "paid for by the founders of the second wave of the Ku Klux Klan." She also says the carvings have "no purpose other than celebration of racism, terror and division when carved"

Stone Mountain carvings today and then Mount Rushmore tomorrow.

These Leftist filth want all evidence of our Republic's heritage erased. That way it will be easier to bring in their Marxist revolution.

“Kinda reminds me of something the Taliban did about seventeen years ago.”

And now they’re HERE to do the same.

Stacey Abrams appears to be the culmination of teaching false history for generations on end.

Bolsheviks, just like the good old USSR, erase history.

This is push has met shove.

I’m not a southerner, but this has to stop.

A few months back I remember some BLM types were going to go into Gettysburg and topple some headstones. Then there was nothing heard about it. It may be because they found out that ya can't do stuff like that in federally-operated national parks. That is probably why they are going after the city monuments, they have no such protection.

They ought to be arresting every person involved in destruction, and yeah even if they were just standing there doing nothing.

I looked at the video of it, and it was torn down by Antifa and BLM Leftists.

It was done by almost all white Leftist that hate our Republic.
