A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed overnight from its perch in the US Capitol where it has stood next to George Washington for 111 years and will be replaced by one honoring a civil rights icon from Virginia.

Civil rights my ass. Lee did far more for civil rights than any tin statue they put up to replace him.
More participation trophies to spread the lie that only leftists make progress.
Washington’s next.
Lee should have told his men to disperse to the hills and fight a guerrilla war.
How many Black people would there be in the country if the US did not have slavery, I wonder. Maybe best that they did remove the statue.
Yeah! Everyone feel better now? What’s next? How about MLK? Or RGB? Or any other ‘black’ statues!!? No? Oh......
They don’t care because they’re getting theirs.
Robert E. Lee... who was less of a racist than Abraham Lincoln?
The greatest American general, now on his way to becoming a non-person.
This has gone from insane to tragic.
The GOP is just as responsible. They refused to take a stand and just kept saying, “Wow, look at the Democrats taking down statues of racist Democrats!” as our heritage has been obliterated.
“ Lee should have told his men to disperse to the hills and fight a guerrilla war.”
Actually, not a bad suggestion for today, for that matter.
When does Northam declare Virginia to be illegitimate and turn it back over to the Powhatan Confederacy?
Yes, replace them with statues of LaBum James and hollywood leftists...right in front of Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel, located at 1600 Phillyfraud(formally Pennsylvania) Ave.
He is with the Lord now, and many of those who hate him (many years after his death) won't be meeting him in heaven.
But now the hills are full of tree huggers? Best to mix in the population and strike when an opportunity arises! You know, just like the antifa and blm folks do...
naw, Bill Clinton the first black president....
Just about every African American alive today owes their very existence to slavery. Without slavery, as detestable as it was, it did bring their ancestors together to procreate. People forget that we as unique individuals are only here today because of the actions and interactions of those that came before us. If any step in that process had not of happened, someone else would be standing in our place.
“Enemy inside the gates”
This is VERY WRONG!!!!
Robert E. Lee was even a member of Washington’s family!!!!
If the evil bidenites get in, they WILL remove George Washington’s statue!!!!
Oh why not!~
They took away his house, his land.....
.....and now his statue
This truly breaks my heart
