CNN’s Rye Calls for Washington, Jefferson Monuments to Come Down

As the left mobilizes mobs to tear down confederate statues (and peace monuments) from city-to-city, it was only a matter of time before they would be going after our Founding Fathers. On CNN Thursday morning, liberal analyst Angela Rye argued that our nation’s first president was as detestable as Robert E. Lee because he was a slave owner. “To me, I don't care if it's a George Washington statue or Thomas Jefferson, they all need to come down,” she said before ranting about America’s “very violent past.”

In a panel discussion with the Daily Beast’s John Avlon, journalist Farai Chideya and analysts Amanda Carpenter and Angela Rye, host Kate Bolduan asked her guests about Trump’s tweets, which questioned who was “next” on the left’s list of objectionable historical figures. Carpenter lamented that Trump was dividing the country into “choosing sides” over this confederate monument issue, and leaving a political dynamic that left “no room for moderation.”

Rye, the former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, brought the issue back to racism and America’s “very violent past that that resulted in the death and the raping and the killing of my ancestors,” which she said, was “protected” by George Washington:

Rye then warned that we had to keep “teaching” about Washington because we were “very close” to being a nation of slavery again:

The fact that George Washington left instructions for all of his slaves to be set free matters not to the leftist lunatics who are hell bent upon destroying the American culture.

What shall be done about the monuments to Ulysses S. Grant? He was briefly a slave owner while living in Missouri. He set the slave free.

“MLK was against gay marriage. Are we going to destroy every statue?”

Good point.

Shows their cognitive dissonance in action.

Let me make sure I understand this:

The former executive director of the Black Congressional Caucus, arguably a racist organization as it prohibits membership by any congressman who, though they may represent a predominately black district, happens to be White, is condemning America because of statues which honor the Founders of this great nation?

You have to be a special kind of stupid to make this argument.

How about just remove the street signs.

I think even MLK would be relieved for them all to be removed seeing as how they placed those signs in the highest crime-racked areas in America.
