Shoot who ever tries to tear down the statues.
COWARDS!
Nothing. Liberals have no consequences and conservatives generally throw little or no defense.
Lol !!! At least you know your history !!!
The only lib monuments are statues of Baphomet.
You said a mouthful there.You can eliminate”little” and “or” and the sentence still make sense.
Time to do the same to liberal monuments
You do know the confederates are all dems, rightt?””
This was a Republican run committee that passed Warrens amendment. GOP runs the Senate. Blaming the Democrats is a diversion. They can’t pass anything without the GOP
We need to close Gettysburg. Plow over the markers. It’s a Confederate battle site.

You want to tear down the Jefferson Memorial too?
