Abraham Lincoln has joined George Washington on the list of those targeted by Chicagoans in a national debate over Civil War-era monuments.
Alderman Raymond Lopez took to Facebook Wednesday night to decry a defaced statue of the nation’s 16th president in the Englewood neighborhood. The giant bust appears to have been damaged after someone in the 15th Ward sprayed and ignited a flammable liquid.
“What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. This bust of Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926, was damaged & burned,” Mr. Lopez wrote, a local NBC affiliate reported. “If anyone has any information regarding this act, please contact the police or my office immediately.”
“F- Abe Lincoln,” responded Quintin Mitchell, whose comment was “liked” or deemed “funny” by 160 others.
The official’s finding came just one day after President Trump stated opposition to tearing down memorials related to America’s past with slavery.
“I wonder is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Mr. Trump asked reporters on Tuesday while addressing violence in Virginia.

Chicago is gone.
Historically, Melungeons were associated with the Cumberland Gap area of central Appalachia, which includes portions of East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and eastern Kentucky. Tri-racial describes populations thought to be of mixed European, African and Native American ancestry
How long before these people start mysteriously turning up dead?
Typical low iq ghetto rats.
I guess they took time out from killing each other to make a political statement. How cute.
Dems are the reason for this appalling bs.
I thought the theories included the possibility that there were Middle Eastern or Gypsy in there..
I lived in Chicago ( as an adult ) and know what the public schools on the South Side ( other places too ) were/are like. Trust me....Quintin ( misspelling, but at least it isn't D'Jelloian ) has absolutely NO idea WHO Lincoln was, nor what transpired in his life. He most assuredly also does NOT know that old Abe lived in Ill.!
Heh. I always seem to skip over that episode on the Blu-ray Disc.
Lincoln freed the slaves so they could deface his statue.......
Very well could that also...
We better stand up!! Where are we? watching American Idol and the Home and garden channel on over priced homes? WAKE THE F UP!!
BECAUSE HE’S A WHITE MAN. THIS IS ABOUT REMOVING WHITE PEOPLE ...DUH! THIS IS ABOUT MISERABLE FAILURES TAKING OUT THEIR FRUSTRATION AND HATE ON WHITEY.
Blacks in the ghetto are the most racist ignorant POS in this country. Worse than any white trash redneck in a trailer park.
OTOH...even during slavery and then wildly so, after slavery, blacks yearned for an education and most of them DID get one; even some being good enough to get into the "vaunted" Ivies and other top tier colleges WITHOUT any Affirmative Action at all!
That happens daily in Chicongo.
The Left never stops. They continue on. This is why we have to resist. It may come to fighting fire with fire....soon.
There are no 150 year old wounds. This is the left/socialists/hate America etc. as they want to destroy our history to teach it their way.

The beginning of your screed? Not so much. This crap was and is stirred up by the likes of the NOI, Obama's old church, and the lily WHITE Roman Catholic priest, whose church is on the South Side ( and he adopted 2 or 3 black boys ) and who is "blacker" than any black ghetto-hommie, with a hand of Louie Farrakhan thrown in.
Democrat glitterati like John Wilkes Booth would be proud.
ALL THE FOUNDERS OWNED SLAVES! INCLUDING LINCOLN!
It’s a fascinating mystery, but appears to be very complicated.
I think they’ve suggested that Elvis Presley and Ava Gardner, among other famous people, may have had Melungeon ancestry.
