Two days after President Trump questioned whether tearing down Confederate statues would lead leftists to targeting statues and monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers, CNN commentator Angela Rye did exactly that.
“We have to get to the heart of the problem here and the heart is the way many of us were taught American history. American history is not all glorious,” Rye said in a heated segment on Thursday.
“George Washington was a slave owner. We need to call them out for what they are, whether we think they were protecting American freedom or not. He wasn’t protecting my freedoms. My ancestors weren’t deemed human beings to him. And so to me, I don’t care if it’s a George Washington statue or a Thomas Jefferson statue, they all need to come down,” she added.
Rye’s comments, which were first pointed out by the Washington Free Beacon on Thursday, come amidst heated national debate on whether to tear down Confederate monuments and statues around the country.
President Trump weighed in on the debate on Thursday.
“Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments,” Trump tweeted. “You can’t change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson – who’s next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish!”
Now just cotton pickin’ minit. Let’s be fair. Everybody knows that George Washington, Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Jefferson invented slavery in conspiracy with the Joooos!, all of whom were involved in marketing and financing this totally new institution, never-before or since heard of, just so they (the Jooos!) could take over the world. Lincoln finally put a stop to it, but only after promising to continue to treat blacks as inferiors. Fortunately, John Wilkes Booth, one of the first progressive thespians, foiled his evil plan and shouted (Hick! Sick simper tyrant!) and blew his deplorable head off.
“...African Islamic History is THE BEST!...”
Oh really? I didn’t know. I learned something new today.
Then again....hmmmmm....IF it’s so great, why’d they stare at the damn ocean for thousands of years and never once thought of a sail? Oh, wait...that would have been an “original thought”. They’re incapable of an “original thought”....that’s why they’re all LIBs. They sat on a continent with more natural resources than the rest of the world combined and look at it today....Yeah, the “BEST” alright.....geez.
You can't go around calling half the population racist, when even the majority of the other half knows it's a damn lie.
This tactic didn't work last year, and it won't work next year...
More Red Dupes sold Howard Zinn’s Communist View Of Amerikan History
And meanwhile what happened in all of the Communist hellholes?
And yet tens of millions are still send their money to Time-Warner every month whether they watch CNN on their cable or not.
BINGO!!!!
Once all the “offensive” symbols come down, I don’t want to ever hear about slavery and white oppression. Once they are gone, there would be no reminders of slavery. Somebody brings that up to me, I’ll say prove it. There’s no history of it. It’s all be erased. Therefore, it NEVER HAPPENED.
There are even people on the far left who attack Abraham Lincoln.
Woodrow Wilson, whose favorite movie was the racist "Birth of a Nation"
FDR, who interned thousands of Japanese-Americans
Jimmy Carter, who hates Jews
Bill Clinton, who raped women and culturally appropriated "blackness"
Hillary Clinton, who hates men, hates American patriots, called blacks "super predators", laughted at a child rape victim she re-victimized in court, and culturally appropriates "blackness" every time she visits a black church for political purposes
And yet tens of millions are still send their money to Time-Warner every month whether they watch CNN on their cable or not.
rye is an uninformed, ungrateful moron who is (unfortunately) given air time. If it weren’t for someone bring his relatives here and the sacrifice of his relatives, he would be in Africa struggling to survive...or (since he is quite light in the loafers) dead. What a putrid goon.
Sooner than later, I hope. Losers...major losers in life.
Does CNN hire the stupidest people on earth? Or is it just me who thinks that?

At lanta public schooled?
Trump knew it was coming and he drew the battle lines. Can you imagine any other Republican standing up like this? I can’t either.
He was the right man at the right time to give us a shot at saving this country.
Please don’t them rename Washington D.C. to Obama D.C. or Clinton D.C. or something really stupid.
It’s clear this b@tch (sorry) doesn’t know sh@t (sorry) about the greatest man ever, George Washington.
Don’t you mess with my George!!!!!
