I think Pelosi fails to realize that the statues were a way of healing the nation after a horrible event. By honoring the South, its leaders and its fallen the South was forgiven and brought back into the fold. (Or, more likely, she doesn’t care.)

The states and DC put them there, two each. The states can also replace them, as some have.

Not being a student of history, I had never heard of the Southern Manifesto.

Signed by about 99 Dems and 2 Republicans

Let’s bring that to the forefront and take down pics and Statues of those dudes.

“Remove all the Democrats”

They’re the Party of Slavery. I’m constantly being triggered by their presence in the capital.

You can start by banning their name, with its legacy of oppression and hatred.

Start with her Mafia father, the mayor of Baltimore (and all of her criminal brothers running the machine)— which gave us the Baltimore we have today. Corrupt to the core, and the blacks whose ancestors experienced it— could tell all about it- except they would then be kicked out of the criminal gang and the payoffs from the DNC.

They stink up the place something awful.

Pelosi linked to racism and the Confederacy following the death of George Floyd.

Drug addict George was killed in Minnesota.

Where does Pelosi get Confederacy in the picture?

I don’t know if she’s “Confederate”, but Pelosi qualifies as a statue, and should be removed ASAP.

If the goal is remove all reminders of racism, wouldn’t it be easier to just remove all the statues of Democrats?
