The city of Charlottesville, Va. followed up its removal of two controversial Confederate statues Saturday with the lightning-fast toppling of a third local landmark: a monumental tribute to explorers Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.
In an emergency meeting called with 20 minutes’ notice, the Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously to cancel another piece of public art targeted by left-wing activists.
“I feel that it should just be melted down,” Rose Ann Abrahamson, a Sacagawea descendant, said during the council meeting, The Daily Progress reported. “I feel that it’s entirely offensive and it should be obliterated.”

This is sad. These three people, Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea are integral characters in the history of the United States. Maybe these people don’t know their history!
Another reason to homeschool!
How do we know this loudmouth is a “descendant “ of Sacajawea? Because she says so?
And how many Republicans cheered when it was the Confederate flag or Confederate statues?
Did you seriously think it would stop there?
History was being obliterated then and many warned it was just the beginning.
Good luck ever getting these worms back in the can that was being opened then.
One of the highest priorities of tyrants is to erase real history and replace it with fiction that supports their fraudulent narrative.
“I feel that it should just be melted down,” Rose Ann Abrahamson, a Sacagawea descendant, said during the council meeting, The Daily Progress reported. “I feel that it’s entirely offensive and it should be obliterated.”
Feeeelings! Did her great granny Sacagawea overshadow her? Historic expedition, face on dollar coin, TV specials about her and all that? Palefaces wanted her for her linguistic skills, and failed to gang rape her?
Charlottesville used to be a blue collar town with quiet academia and rowdy students. In the past 20 years, its been invaded by hedge fund types, wealthy retirees from the NE, and crackpot university bureaucrats. Jefferson, honored for 200 years, is the next to go.
Sacagawea...aiding and abetting?
Yep.
Curious how everything offends the left except a political ideology responsible for 100 million deaths and counting.
Defund the Charlottesville City Council.
Yes, Biden recended that EO.
Rotten scumbags.
And thus continues my boycott of C-ville.
Question. Who will ever build a statue to these worthless leftists who are destroying history.
Sick
Oddly, they didn’t think it was offensive 10 years ago
That was removed...
Probably not by lefties!
