NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- The New York City Public Design Commission voted unanimously Monday to approve the long term loan of the controversial Thomas Jefferson statue in the Council Chambers at City Hall to the New-York Historical Society...
...Some commission members were concerned with putting it at the New-York Historical Society because it is privately run and charges a $22 admission fee for adults.
They wanted it to be at a location that is free for entry, like another part of City Hall....
...Once moved, the statue will be displayed in the museum's first-floor lobby for approximately six months before ultimately being placed in a corner of a reading room.

It is ironic those who wish to ban the statue from being viewed in a public place, and erase Jefferson from our memory, are concerned about it being located in a private setting where admission is charged. If they don’t want it to be seen they should be happy the admission charge is a barrier for many people.
President Trump was right about these Leftist scum.
The tradition of news stations hiring the subliterate to write their news stories continues.
