But at a press conference on Tuesday, in the midst of a national debate over the propriety of Confederate images, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell identified one place where Davis shouldn't be: the Capitol building in his home state of Kentucky. A statue of Davis stands alongside former President Abraham Lincoln—his Civil War adversary—and other Kentucky-born leaders.
After last week's deadly shooting at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, images emerged of the suspected gunman's affinity for the Confederate flag, spurring debate over whether the Confederate symbol should be represented on state property. According to reporters at the news conference, McConnell said that a "more appropriate" location for the Davis statue would be a state museum. This week, McConnell expressed support for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds in Columbia.
This isn't the first time that Davis's place of honor in the Kentucky Capitol has been questioned. Earlier Tuesday, a Kentucky gubernatorial candidate called for its removal, and last year, a former state treasurer started an online petition to replace Davis's statue with a memorial to boxer Muhammed Ali, who was born in Louisville.
"Every day, Americans of all political stripes are working to transcend the scars left by slavery and its aftermath," the former treasurer, Jonathan Miller, wrote in a blog post in November. "And every day, walking through our Commonwealth's cathedral, our most important citizens—from the officials who lead the state, to the schoolchildren who visit our capital—pass by the white statue that daily pours salt into our nation's deepest wound. … Jefferson Davis, it's time for you to go."
These people KNOW they will be re-elected because these elections are fraudulent. That’s why they can get away with doing things that are 100% opposite of what their constituents want.
Send it to Mississippi. We can put it at his home Beauvoir.
Hey Mitch, they have a statue of General Custure in Monroe Michigan, maybe you Fascist tyrants should do something about that.
Think it should be fairly obvious to everyone that the tyrants are trying in invoke another rebellion. They are suicidal.
Maybe he should worry about pulling down statues of KKK Byrd.
What a pathetic “leader”.
Dems deserve to win if this is the best the Republicans can offer.
Let me see if I can properly say this: One whack job kills 9 in a Christian church. Immediately, there is nationwide urging of taking down civil war flags, statues, etc.
20 whack jobs kill 2,977 people in a couple hours, and we’re urged by those same leaders to show respect to those who did it to us...
Perhaps my math is really wrong here, but if 9 dead result in a nation wide striking of flags and images, shouldn’t 333 times that number result in there not being an Islamic mosque still standing anywhere in North America?
Lastly, I refuse to let bigots seize my heritage and use it as their blanket and shield. I refuse to give into ANY bigots, on both sides of the issue. The flag didn’t kill people, the whack job did. And they dishonor the dead by using their bodies to further their own agenda - par for the course for liberals, of course.
Getting to where I detest ALL politicians.
Do me a favor, everyone. Please, let’s none of us, and I mean NONE of us, ever suggest again that this walking talking (insert swear word here) needs to be re-elected.
Museums are for crap that no longer has a functioning purpose. The confederate flag still shows that the need for an uprising of the stated from federal tyranny. Why don’t all the politicicians just shut the hell up and do their constitutional duties. Stupid idiots.
Maybe the United States should just remove all the Southern States from the Union.
e entire US Congress and SCOTUS have been or are being blackmailed or bought off by the Transnational Progressives. You, as US citizens, are now property.
Wasn’t George Washington a slave owner?
We need to rename the capital!
Frankly I think George Washington would not want his name associated with the capital of this country today.
Call it CRONY ISLAND.
These GOPe assjacks are as soft on southern history as they are a Obama
They are just as culpable as the Democrats in killing our country

And the asshat McConnell belongs in a museum for Quislings and NOT in the Senate.
Well i am pretty pissed about the statue of William Tecumsuh Sherman that stands next to the U.S Capital.
This murdering bastard insults All southeners.
So once again the left calls something racist, and spineless republicans are like Chuck Schummer spotting a microphone to prove to the world how not racist they are.
Each time I’ve signed in here the last two days the front page is 90% articles of who banned or wants to ban a flag.
