Called it! Chicago asked to remove Washington & Jackson statues. Gettysburg says "no"
The Left always overplays it's hand and goes too far, and in so doing reveals their true nature to everyone.
This isn't about racism - that's just the tool being used. This is really about deconstructing the US as it was founded.
I predict Trump will come out of this even stronger as the Left overplays its hand.
Ps - Gettysburg National Park told the kooks "you are not touching our country's history.
Maybe they will go after the National archives next to burn confederate documents.
Or perhaps the Declaration of Independence which is a racist document since it ignores the plight of the slaves completely.

Guy on the radio said he profited from slave transactions.

Did they really ask to have a statute of George Washington removed?
That's just stupid if true.
Best quote re Robert E. Lee statute --
The proponents of keeping the participation trophy on display say it's an important part of their cultural memory and that we should appreciate the time their ancestors collectively committed treason in order to preserve the dehumanization and subjection of millions only to be soundly and justifiably crushed by the unyielding engines of human progress."
Yes, exactly. It's history, and we must learn fro it.
