Well worth undoing some of the damage done by the American Taliban.

Ask for private donations. That would take care of it if the organization didn’t take too much off the top.

Only $10 million?
Biden spent over $500 Billion putting illegals in posh hotels across the country and putting tax payer dollars in their pockets.

They should be in jail.

Hope they don't give it that "artist" that once tried to "restore" a priceless painting of Jesus:

The article says that it was “removed from Arlington National Cemetery at the recommendation of Congress”.

Find out which of them voted for removal, then fund the restoration from their paychecks — of those who still are there.

I think it’s Soros doing the funding of those thugs. Take it out of his bank account, or put a lien on one of his properties.

It is always easier to destroy than to build.

No price is too dear. We could sell the MLK monument to pay for it.

I call Barbara Streisand on the $10 million figure. Someone threw that out there just to discourage the move to restore the monument.
