WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats have called for the removal of a statue of anti-apartheid activist and freedom fighter Nelson Mandela after learning the man was also a convicted felon.
Calls for the removal grew louder after many noted the eerie similarity to Donald Trump, who is also a convicted felon.
"We should never give convicted felons a place of honor in the seat of holy democracy," said Senator Chuck Schumer in a statement. "Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by his own government, which means he was clearly a bad guy who totally deserved it. Tear this dangerous statue down immediately!"
Mandela, who was captured and imprisoned by his political opposition in cooperation with the CIA, was incarcerated for 27 years before being elected to the presidency and ending South African apartheid, has been viewed as a hero by many Democrats. "That was before we found out he was a dirty, evil convicted felon," proclaimed Congresswoman AOC to reporters. "Felons are always evil. Like convicted felon Trump, who is a convicted felon and therefore bad. Did I mention he was a convicted felon?"
At publishing time, Democrats had also called for the removal of the Washington Monument after discovering he had several warrants out for his arrest issued by King George.
bttt for great justice
only certain convicted felons
doesnt Chuckles have anything better to do, like hold up some bills or meet with Nanny over lunch? 😂😂
“We should never give convicted felons a place of honor in the seat of holy democracy,”
The above statement is far from being a joke.
Don’t remember who said it but talk of “our sacred democracy”, attacks on our “temple of democracy” and so forth are profoundly dangerous.
Democracy is spoken of as if it is a deity of some type.
Fighting and killing for this deity is something put forth as an obligation for the American people.
Which really doesn’t make us that different than jihadis, after all do they not also fight and kill for their deity?
That’s why we aren’t a democracy but a Republic.
Not only that, he led an armed insurrection against the established government! He shot government personnel! With Big Scary Black Guns!! Well, mostly black, they had some wood also. But Scary!!
Only the Bee ...
In all seriousness his statue should be melted down with all the other evil commie marxist thugs.
The Bee knows how to sting.
I second that!
Love to have these guys & gals over for a cookout. What a blast.
I believe he would say:
"See that every able citizen is issued one such weapon, with ammunition, and proper instructions for its care and use."
Mandela was a communist terrorist responsible for about 150 bombings for the terror wing of the ANC so he is a ‘RAT hero. Way to go killing the non-communists Nelson.
LOL.
Thank you! You’re absolutely correct.
LOL!
I was promoting this hourly.
Correct.
And he was worshipped by almost everyone. I remember because I was like a lone voice crying out in the wilderness:
“hes a communist terrorist stop…he killed people stop”. But no , everyone saw him as the kind man who wanted racial harmony and love. Just like the nightly news told them.
And look at SA now.
WAIT, THERE IS A STATUE OF COMMIE MANDELLA IN DC?!!!
