Erected on Thursday in the capital Budapest, Lady Liberty is portrayed bending the knee, stretching her right fist in the air and holding a plaque that reads: "Black Lives Matter".

When Poland played England in a Euro qualifying soccer match at Wembly Stadium two days ago, England invited the Polish team to participate in kneeling just before he match as an an expression against racism.

The Polish team declined. They knew it was empty symbolism and weren’t going to endorse it.

The racist is not the person who opposes a BLM statue, but the person who erects one," said Gergely Gulyás, Orbán’s chief of staff.

“Why is the BLM statue in homosexual colors ?”

Because the statue of liberty is transgender in progressive eyes.

Since BLM is Marxist based, sounds like it was taken down by a patriotic Hungarian who remembers what communism was like.

BLM was founded by a trio of lesbians or trannies, I forget which.

I’m afraid the USA is turning into the Soviet Union of the 1960s and 1970s - we are exporting a globalist, collectivist, and destructive ideology as a cover for destabilizing and transforming other countries’ societies, cover for empire building, and justifying a power grab of our own deep state.
