Another day, yet another statue of a military hero is reportedly under fire. This figure astride a horse was vandalized with the spray-painted words "Tear It Down."
Who was this historical figure? General Lee? Stonewall Jackson? Nathan Bedford Forrest?
No, this was a figure who hails from the north.
Of France:
The phrase "Tear it Down" was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the French Quarter sometime earlier this week. It has since been removed, with only the vaguest traces of the paint remaining.Nah, I wouldn't be so sure.The "Tear it Down" tag would seem to relate to the debate surrounding the city's ongoing removal of four Confederate monuments. But the statue of Joan of Arc, a 15th-century military leader, martyr and Catholic saint, hasn't been mentioned in the controversy to this point.
Amy Kirk Duvoisin, the founder of the annual Joan of Arc parade that ceremonially pauses at the statue on the first day of Carnival season, says she's confused by the vandalism.
"Surely, people realize she's not related to American history," she said referring to the French icon.

Well, we did not expect them to be terribly literate or thoughtful concerning historical figures, did we now?
[”Surely, people realize she’s not related to American history,” she said referring to the French icon.’]
“Don’t interrupt them, they’re on a roll”
ROFL!!!
Next, the Ronald McDonald figure on the bench!
I guess I was wrong, they don’t want to erase American history, they want to erase ALL of it.

With the good Old GOP-E leading their way.
Lets face it, nobody has our backs in the establishment. NADA!
Oh, come now. Joan was a member of the military and a patriot. The little Nazi voted for Trump. I know she did.
[I guess I was wrong, they don’t want to erase American history, they want to erase ALL of it.]
The hilarious part is this generation doing the screaming is arguably the most historically illiterate ever.
Fools don’t even have the brains to know who she was. probably thought she was a confederate cavalry officer.
It shows the country is bowing down to ignorant people. These dummies have no idea who fought on which side in the Civil War.
She was white and a Catholic
Tear it down
Thanks to NeoCons, Celebrities , Parasitic news media, socialist democrats we can expect more vandalism from Antifa.
I’ll wait for one of them apologize to Trump (haha Just kidding, I know they won’t )
Yep The GOP is worse then tits on a hog. They willingly will let it all be destroyed. Protect themselves but us? Not so much.
Good one.
Actually, they believe she was Noah's wife.
Now they come for the Catholics?
Was it over when the Republicans created slavery and fought the Civil War to preserve slavery?
Was it over when the Republicans created the Klan and used it and Jim Crow laws to suppress black activists?
Was it over when the republicans tried to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
What? All of those were actually democrats? Okay, let's go after Joan of Arc instead. She wasn't a democrat!
