George Washington was burned in effigy complete with riots.

What year was that?

“What year was that?”

1795 over the Jay Treaty. Now, remember, this was the Father of the American Revolution viewed by much of the country as a genuine hero - and even His Excellency was hardly immune from vitriol. I know you think history began last week, but just because you experience something now, doesn’t mean it has never happened before or that it has never been as “bad” before.
