House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Ayman Mohyeldin Reports” that a statue sent by South Carolina of the seventh vice president of the United States John C. Calhoun needs to be removed from Capitol’s National Statuary Hall because it is honoring slavery.
Mohyeldin said, “I know the House is set today, Sir, to vote on a bill to remove Confederate statues from public display in the Capitol. That was a bill actually passed in the previous Congress, as you are well aware, it stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate at the time. Why is this bill so important, especially after what happened on January 6? Do you think it has a better shot this time around in the Senate?

Paybacks coming...it won’t be pretty, my little pretties
Let's move ahead not backwards. History is what it is.
Clyburn has to go because he’s trying to bring back slavery of black people to the Democrat plantation.
They never think about how we got from a world where slavery was normal, to this one.
Its like people at the seventy yard line mocking the guys that fought it out at the thirty yard line to get the ball where it is now.
How about we just get rid of all the America haters like you instead, James?
Start by banning the Democratic Party which, as a party, defended slavery, created the KKK and stood against the civil rights legislation.
They don’t believe there was is a USA or civil war. To them it is all the 1619 country and north, south, British, French, American are all the same.
They have pulled a coup d’état and are now running the rainbow-flag cartel country.
Black people remind me of slavery. Who needs that?
And it was straight white males who brought about the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.
Yes let’s put that statue of George Floyd right in the middle of the rotunda.
“And Fentanyl for All”
Or at least make them change their name
An excellent suggestion!
Clyburn needs to go.
And where is my White Caucus, that will stand up for me?
When will the (D)’s of Congress remove the names of those (D) KKK members and slave holders from those buildings they’ve named after them?
And has kept them down even more since cra64.
I’d gladly trade all those statues for Clyburn any day—the statues have more brains. Clyburn is in a Maxine Waters/Sheila Jackson Lee/Hank Johnson (”Guam will sink!”) class of utter idiot. It is absolutely frightening that someone as knucklewalking stupid and bigoted as Clyburn is in a position to influence our government. We have all sorts of problems—mostly stemming from the stolen election—and this fool chooses to attack STATUES which have been sitting where they are forever, bothering no one. When you are as stupid and weak as Clyburn though, you have to pick a target who can’t fight back—innate objects.
The Democrat party has to go because it supported slavery.
I am actually a descendant of John C. Calhoun. Yes, my ancestors owned slaves. But those slaves were treated extremely well, and were in many cases considered part of the family. They were treated so well, that they stayed and continued on after slavery was ended as wage laborers.
Slave owners were very similar to pet owners today. Just as some pet owners horribly abuse their pets, some slave owners did the same. But for many slave owners their slaves were a beloved member of the family similar to how most pets are treated today.
I don’t mean to imply that slaves were pets, or to devalue human life. I am simply trying to state the facts that you no longer here anymore in this new “woke” world.
John C. Calhoun is associated with slavery by the WOKE crowd.
But, his treatise, A Disquisition On Government, is perhaps the most brilliant explanation of how a free and independent government can flourish among rugged individuals.
Not something that Clyburn and his ilk could EVER understand.
