Mayor Bill de Blasio, seemingly unsatisfied with the disapproval that comes with imposing vastly unpopular and unnecessary mask and vaccine mandates, has found another way to anger New Yorkers. With just three months remaining on his term, de Blasio has called for the removal of a 187-year-old Thomas Jefferson statue from City Hall’s council chambers.
Yes, de Blasio is attempting to cancel a former president who died nearly 200 years ago.

Per the New York Post, the city’s Public Design Commission has listed “the long term loan” of the 1833 painted plaster statue of the author of the Declaration of Independence to the New York Historical Society on its “consent” agenda for Monday. Doing so means that removal of the statue will not be up for public debate. Instead, members of the commission will vote on the statue’s removal once they’ve reviewed public comments.
Those comments should be…interesting.
Councilman Joe Borelli told the NY Post, “The de Blasio administration will continue the progressive war on history as he, himself, fades away into a portrait on a City Hall wall.
“I hope he is at least gone a couple hundred years before someone cancels him,” added Borelli.
The Jefferson statue was gifted to the city in 1834 by Uriah Phillips Levy, an officer of the Navy, and passed to the historical society by way of an “indefinite” loan. The statue is expected to be removed by October 21st. Unfortunately, New Yorkers will have to wait another few months to say the same about de Blasio.

will it be replaced by a Statue of the Unknown Rapist?
Once again, it’s not about statues.
GEORGE FLOYD.....................
Saint George Floyd to you and me.
I call for the removal of De Blasio.
I bet most NYC residents are calling for the removal of DeBlahblah
Well known Communist tactic.
How sick can a politician get?
There is no bottom for democrat politicians because they are never held accountable for anything.
Nominees for replacement include Lenin, Stalin and Mao. George Floyd also acceptable.
REMOVAL OF THOMAS JEFFERSON STATUE
Because his black wife said so?.
I knew this was coming. First the came for the good Gen. Lee....
When will the democrat party be removed?
For owning slaves
For fighting to keep them?
For owning the KKK?
For forcing POC’s to get the shot?
I have lost all desire to ever again visit the city of New York.
Black Lesbian wife.....
I recall how stunned I was with his choice of a wife......his history was nutty and way out there....but then I considered he probably likes women small for other reasons.
Why? Did Jefferson give his wife $850 million of taxpayer money, and it disappeared without a trace?

The leadership in New York City and California have always looked down on other states.....their arrogance is off the scale and they can’t see how disgusting their states and cities have become.
