They could replace it with a statue of George Floyd sitting on the hood of his Mercedes SUV.

Disgraceful. Lee was an honorable man who fought according to his conscience.

They can think what they want, Lee was a great and honorable man.
Sherman on the other hand was a monster.

It’s good to be on the winning side.

“How long before Mount Vernon is burned down?”

As soon as they learn that it exists. Which could be a while.

What’s he going to do next? Dig up all the graves at Arlington, tear down his house? That area where the graves are was his front yard.

My daughter lives in Richmond. She told me...”well...it’s coming down.”

I laughed and told her to stay away from that area.

Next, they will put up statues of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and maybe Pol-Pot.

Years after the Civil War Lee would call soldiers from the south and north “our boys.” He always had money in his pocket to give down on their luck soldiers.

He freed his slave. He grew up in an abolitionist family.
