DFL upset about Lincoln portrait in House chamber (Minnesota Democrats)
American Experiment ^ | May 3 2022 | Bill Walsh

Posted on 05/06/2022 7:54:13 AM PDT by euram

Cancel culture has now reached President Abraham Lincoln, the man who wrote the Emancipation Proclamation declaring enslaved people “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Democrat Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (DFL-Roseville) complained about Lincoln’s presence on the House floor this week during a debate on an education bill.

“We are asked to serve, we serve in this body, we have to look at President Lincoln every day we are in this space.”

Ok, this is where we are. Lincoln must be canceled. Lincoln offends the sensibilities of today’s Democrat idiots. Got it. It’s painful for this imbecile to have to see Lincoln.

These people are (expletive deleted).

“That Abe Lincoln was sooooooo bad ...”
Ed McMahon: “How bad was he?”
“Abe Lincoln was so bad ... that we should cancel everything he did as president.”

These people are whacked and should be dismissed out of hand. However in today’s world, they are coddled and catered to, it’s disgusting.

If they are going to remove Lincoln’s portrait, I suggest that it be replaced by the picture below. After all, both parties are mentioned. There is no favoritism.

Did anyone complain about Jamie becker-finn’s presence on the floor? I woild think that he/she whatever is far more objectionable than Lincoln ever even thought of being.

What have you done for the country mr/Mrs whatever finn?

Don’t know how many slaves there were in Minnesota but Democrats are still pissed that the Republicans freed them.

Only modern revolutionary heroes will be allowed to be honored, like George Floyd.

It’s not just speech that Democrats can declare offensive, but people as well. Do we even have to call them people?

OH REALLY? Has it not occurred to you that the people that work with you are forced to look at you every day when they’d rather not?

Again Lincoln is far more important that you will ever be Finn, so do everyone a favor and sit down and stew in your own vile hatred in silence, and let the big dogs run the show- they got this- they dont need lame comments from the peanut gallery accosting them while they work on the issues of the nation.

And stop hitting on Lincoln, he’s not here anymore, and you aren’t his type.

The only think involving ‘Lincoln’ that the democRATs admire and respect is that club for pedophiles and groomers known as the ‘Lincoln Project.’

Back in the day slave holding democrats thought Lincoln was a terrorist. Some things never change.

Lincoln offends the sensibilities of today’s Democrat idiots.

He also offended the sensibilities of yesterday's Democrat idiots. They just can't forgive him for freeing their slaves.
