Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has just three months left in office, is quietly banishing a statue of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson from City Hall’s council chambers — where it has resided for the past 187 years, The Post has learned.
The city’s Public Design Commission — comprised of mayoral appointees — has listed “the long term loan” of the 1833 bronze cast of the Declaration of Independence author to the New-York Historical Society on its “consent” agenda for Monday.
The consent designation means the historic statue’s removal is not scheduled for public debate. The 11-member design commission will vote on de Blasio’s Jefferson exile after reviewing public comments, a City Hall spokesman said.

Where has a forensic audit stopped election fraud & theft?
Couldn’t they have just painted the statue black?
The mayors wife glibly dismisses Jefferons’ s statue and thinks this is some kind of justice done.
She is a know nothing, a tool, as you all well know for the woke crowd.
Does she not know history
She should have approached the descendents
of the Jefferson - Hemming union who are
well documented.
Imho its a slap in the face to these people
who do cling to their ancestry and are proud
of it. THEY arent ashamed of their background.
McCrae with a smile and wave of a hand
dismisses an entire group of people who
are descendents of a slave.
Have a nice day
Let’s be fair.
Does the New York City Hall deserve to have a bust of Thomas Jefferson in it?
Find a home for it in a small Southern town.
o what of Columbus Circle? Surely that can’t stand with these woke fools in charge?
Oh, that’s been changed to Indigent Round-about.
Not to forget Chairman Mao Zedong
Yet they have not even broached renaming the FDR Drive...
your post of “Making room for a statue of Lenin or Marx” was also my thought.
On 2d thought, I’ll add Mao to the list.
LMAO!!!!
