It is taking longer than originally expected for crews to remove a statue of John C. Calhoun from Charleston’s Marion Square Wednesday morning.

....Work began to remove the monument began shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday, hours after Charleston City Council voted in favor of relocating it.

Garbage journalism. Hey, no mention Calhoun was a DEMOCRAT.

The mob couldn't get Andrew Jackson torn down so the media is fangirling over getting the statue of his VP.

The local media in Miami Florida keeps showing live pictures of this removal.

... because we can’t have American history because leftists don’t like it.

And, of course, we as a country must conform 100% to what leftists like or don’t like.

But that’s okay.

President Trump tweets about it.
Our beloved Congress is dead silent.
The police run in the other direction.

Exactly .

They all hide .
Trump tweets and does nothing.
What ever happen to Antifa being a terrorist group ?
I thought we arrest them and their financiers .
All talk no action .

“The local media in Miami Florida keeps showing live pictures of this removal.”

The good news is that it is not being destroyed, and that a respectful place will be found to put the statue.

Meanwhile, I've lost any desire to visit Charleston, which was on my bucket list.

Do you even hear what you say or write ???????

You are not worthy to tie President Trump’s shoe laces!

Are you doing anything to help besides being a disgruntled keyboard complainer?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP??????????

I have voiced my concern to all including the WH , senators . and house rep.
All are hiding .
I worked for local reps that do something.
What about you ?
I see the disaster ahead .
What about you ?

How has Trump taken out Antifa ?
How about BLM ?
Have anyone been rounded up Antifa terrorists ?
How about the financiers ?

What about stopping issuing a EO stating any one receiving Federal funds
better leave all Pres monuments alone or funds end .
Why are guards at all parks protecting monuments .

If you dont see Venezuela in our future then talk to refugees that feed there .
We have good who fleed from there .
They are warning us all the time .
