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.”

The GOP is lead by Northern VA GOP establishment hacks. The VA Governors race has as our RINO picked candidate, Youngkin, who won’t even acknowledge he is even a Republican or even talk about MAGA on his TV ads.
Controversial to whom?
I’m offended that the statue offends her.
This “offended direct descendant” (almost certainly a lie) can now put up statues of Vladmir Lenin, Mao (together with his sexual diseases) and Leon Trotsky, the latter shown with an axe in his head, courtesy of Stalin.
Why not save all the drams and just have the progressives in Congress pass a bill to remove all statues of white men in the country unless they were gay?
Then why didn’t the statue show that joint effort
. Imstead Sacjawea is humbled behind them. When I was a kid there was Goldenbook Stamp and coloring books on many topics
In one devoted to American history the coloring page had Sacajawea standing in the bow of a canoe directing with her arm Lewis and Clark. That kind of statue no one could argue with. Without Sacajawea the Corps of Discovery is epic fail. But in the past some Americans couldn’t accept ideas like that. Flame Away!!
Thank You Nikki Haley
No, we’re pissed about this, we have been invaded, this is people from elsewhere doing this.
Lie. Bet on it.
[We are living in the Twilight Zone]
We most certainly are. Guess I have to get rid of my Sacagawea coins now? Strange times, indeed. “Interesting Times” I often post.
Speaking of the Twilight Zone, here’s an old thread from awhile back:

[These urban idiots intend to destroy the USA. Collapse it economically and destroy all evidence that we have been here.]
I you had told me in 2001, the things we are seeing today, I would never have believed it. Not this side of the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy.
re-writing history is one of the basic tenets of Marxism in the taking over a nation - the destruction of statues is part of that endeavor. (Marxism 101)
I’ll wager a Clark candy bar that the protestors and council members that voted for the removal are NOT native Virginians. Most likely they are socialists who’ve infiltrated the state like those who have taken over control of the near-DC counties.
:-(
I really thought Americans would be smarter than this.
My wife and I have turned it over to him, but we are going to do out part to right this ship of state.
I decided to back away from the seed wheat business and focus on working on homes.
Wife has 2, I have 2 and my father died in March and left that one to my brother and I. We are going to deed it to our 3 children. So I have a full plate year.
Never was there a US Military expedition that treated Native indians with more respect than that of Lewis and Clark.
The irony that these people are too stupid to realize they carry around images of dead slaveholders in their wallets is quite enjoyable.
I imagine Lewiston MT would take the statue
Bunch of stupid savages tearing down statues because they are morons.
I’m the “what’s in your wallet?” guy..
Funniest thing he ever did
