QUOTING PRESIDENT MACRON:

“We will be inflexible when it comes to tackling racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination, and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances,” Macron said in the video. “But this noble fight is perverted when it turns into communitarianism, into a false rewriting of history.”

“This is unacceptable when it is picked up by separatists. I tell you very clearly tonight my dear fellow citizens, the Republic will not erase any trace or name from its history,” he continued. “It will not forget any of its deeds or take down any statue. What we need to do is to look all together with lucidity on all of our history and all our memory. Our relation to Africa in particular so we can build a present and a possible future from one to the other side of the Mediterranean.”

Interesting, but the mob will just tear them down anyway unless the “new strong decisions” are enough to satisfy them (they won’t be) or he’s willing to spend the money to guard every statue 24/7 (he won’t be).

Hard to believe that Macron has more balls than most of our politicians.

So I suppose that from now on, we can refer to American politicians as “Arugula eating surrender monkeys.”

they get a lesson in courage from… France

The cowardly quisling RINOs don't take lessons from anyone.

“and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances”

“Chances” in this case is “opportunities”.

Equality of opportunities is not what they want. They want equality of results.
