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.”

These are the people who hate their parents, their children, their lives. There is no gentle soul in them, only the bitterness that comes from self loathing.
Angela Rye is a free woman in a free society because George Washington sacrificed everything he had to give us this country.
He was the wealthiest man in the colonies. He risked his very life to defeat tyrants. He would have been hung as a traitor if the dream of the Founders had been shattered.
This half witted twit is ignorant. She is ignorant. She is deeply and terribly ignorant.

Mohammed owned slaves - tear down every mosque!

There is dumb, pretty dumb, really dumb, then there is Rye who is a bat shit delusional dumb.... heaven protect us.

All of this present racial turmoil can be put at the feet of
the name who shall not be named...Barrack Hussein Obama, one of the biggest racist in America today.

I think the next one to come down should be Pike’s Peak in Colorado since it was named for a southern confederate general. Those who support this type activity should be given authorization to began demolition immediately with the provision that they do it themselves and must complete the task before moving on to anything else.

They aren't going to stop until they are stopped.

They need to keep going. There's a cliff ahead and Trump needs a few more tweets so they mash the gas pedal some more.

[palmer]

I have to say, Trump has played this pretty well. Especially considering the Manchurian White Supremacist would attack sooner or later. The only real surprise was no Trump bumper sticker on the car. The deep media/state will keep dealing out their cards and Trump will have to respond. But he’s done well this round.

[El Cid]

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

Darn, she is on to us...

Actually we are all slaves to big government, and Trump is doing his best to break these chains by reducing regulations, advocating the reduction of the size of the government, eliminating government's takeover of health care, etc.
Of course the D.C. Slave Owners don't like it, and they won't be happy until President Trump's body is a'mouldering in the grave...

This half witted twit is ignorant. She is ignorant. She is deeply and terribly ignorant.

I don't agree. Black Supremacist Angela Rye is more intelligent, and better informed than you think. She is evil; completely and willfully dedicated to the destruction of these United States. Black Supremacist Angela Rye, and those like her, knowingly plan to replace this Great Republic with a communist racist tyranny.

[Col Frank Slade]

Trump said what’s next Washington & Jefferson ?

Well..YUP

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Replaced by Marx, Milk, Lennin, Trotski?

[ForYourChildren]

Gonna bring these down and others across the country.

Yea, right.

[patriotfury]

Funny!

[cameraeye]

“Mount Rushmore to be dynamited..................................”

Funny, they are all Republicans! Don’t won’t go very well!

[cameraeye]

” Won’t go very well!”

[ConservaTeen]

Ms Rye, I think you been hitting a bottle of fermented RYE Juice...you need to quit, it is making you look stupid....

This avalanche is coming down the mountain.

[palmer]

If it is really an avalanche (metaphorically speaking) then it can't be stopped by definition. You step aside and let it run out. The average American either has to wake from his stupor and see the evil or we are done as a whole. Yes, I know only 30% (or 20% or some such percentage) of colonists fought the King. But at this point we still need majorities to vote on this stuff.

Or like I said, let the avalanche destroy whatever is in its path and let the American people see that and convince them to fight. Statues can easily be recreated when we win.
