Northam "needs to come down".

Virginians of the old days would have known how to give this POS the bum's rush to the nearest stout tree branch.

[Verbosus]

I find it interesting the deed to the surrounding land demands it’s protection.

[kiryandil]

POS Northam isn’t fit enough to empty Robert E. Lee’s thunderjug.

[DiogenesLamp]

Yup.

[gunnut]

And finally— Robert E. Lee’s full rights of Citizenship were restored by Congress in 1975.

Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. Wonder if the record on that vote is available?

Joint ResolutionAug- 5, 1975

S.J. Res. 23

To restore posthumously full rights of citizenship to General R. E. Lee.

Whereas this entire Nation has long recognized the outstanding virtues of courage, patriotism, and selfless devotion to duty of General R. E.Lee, and has recognized the contribution of General Lee in healing the wounds of the War Between the States, and

Whereas, in order to further the goal of reunion of this country, General Lee, on June 13, 1865, applied to the President for amnesty and pardon and restoration of his rights as a citizen, and

Whereas this request was favorably endorsed by General Ulysses S. Grant on June 16,1865, and

Whereas, General Lee’s full citizenship was not restored to him subsequent to his request of June 13, 1865, for the reason that no accompanying oath of allegiance was submitted, and

Whereas, on October 12, 1870, General Lee died, still denied the right to hold any office and other rights of citizenship, and

Whereas a recent discovery has revealed that General Lee did in fact on October 2, 1865, swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and to the Union, and

Whereas it appears that General Lee thus fulfilled all of the legal as well as moral requirements incumbent upon him for restoration of his citizenship:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled

That, in accordance with section 3 of amendment 14 of the United States Constitution, the legal restored post-disabilities placed upon General Lee as a result of his service as General of the Army of Northern Virginia are removed, and that General R. E. Lee is posthumously restored to the full rights of citizenship, effective June 13, 1865.

Approved August 5, 1975.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Yes indeed.

[John S Mosby]

To what end? The restoration of Citizenship by Congress was the proper thing to do, not a “Party” thing to do. What is true is that Biden is a complete lying hypocrite— because the subject came up after his candidacy announcement video falsely castigating Pres. Trump for saying there were “fine people on both sides” at the Charlottesville “agitprop” fake riots.

Trump did not equate the antiFa who were the agitators with “fine people”. He was talking about the Heritage people who were protesting the removal of a monument— because they were peaceful and reasonable, as were the other side (again non-violent) who were wanting it taken down.

Biden voted FOR restoration of RE Lee’s posthumous citizenship. And he is STILL the lying jivea@@ he has always been, pontificatingly stupid corrupt man-the worst kind who thinks he’s brilliant. There are many Southern Heritage descendants in the US who support Trump because he does not keep pushing the “de-writing” of history like the Black Taliban Matter Communists and their pals in antiFA who manipulate them for the Demonrats.

Laws don’t mean anything to Democrats.

Ain't that the truth !

[John S Mosby]

No, but some enterprising conservative business person could manufacture little “coon man” dashboard likenesses (or those plastic toy store dolls made of so many celebrities and pols).

Make a “Coon Man Gov. Northam” dolls for fundraising and to GET RID of this moronic murderous “pediatrician”. And petition VMI to remove him from the Alumni list. And someone teach him not to leave toilet paper hanging out the back of his pants for all to see-— we saw this at a BBQ introducing him, and the impression was “NOT ALL THERE”.An alcoholic.
