Franklin D. Roosevelt put Japanese Americans into prison camps in WW2 and deported Joe DiMaggio’s mother.

Woodrow Wilson embraced racist policies.

Both Democrats

Juan Williams just explained why these guys’ statues are okay: they owned slaves when owning them was still legal. Robert E. Lee was willing to split the country apart in order to keep slavery alive and well. As for why it was acceptable for BLM members to attend the Right’s rally armed with bats, well, the statues were placed long after slavery was abolished. Those who want the statues to stay are racists. Although I thought he presented his views in his most reasoned manner (after making Melissa Francis cry for defending Trump), Juan is forgetting that this country still has freedom of speech.
