With silent permission from the press, Antifa has continued their assault on free speech across the United States. Their most recent riot — which toppled a Confederate monument in North Carolina — garnered a response from President Donald Trump.
“Are we going to take down statues to George Washington?” the president asked at a press conference on Tuesday.
The question was an apparent reference to George Washington’s ownership of slaves. When he was eleven, he was willed ten slaves in his father’s will. He acquired more when he married his wife, Martha Washington.
Now that leftist groups are attacking Confederate monuments, many — including Trump — are wondering when they’ll go after American icons who preceded the civil war.
The time, it seems, is now.
See what one Chicago pastor said about George Washington on the next page:
P**s off.
Slaves were here at 250 years before the Civil War…were sold by blacks in Africa…mostly muslim..many blacks here owned slaves…Lee freed his slaves long before Grant did…people need to learn history….
and Lincoln said negroes must be gotten rid of now what
Please consider the substituting the following Jacksons when destroying politically objectionable statues: Bo Jackson, Alan Jackson, Jackson Pollock, Jackson Brown, Shoeless Joe Jackson and Mahalia Jackson.
Let’s get even more ridiculous…
What a$#%&!@*face man
You are a stupid man
And how many people have owned slaves in the last 100 years.None.
Idiots
It was LEGAL at that time to OWN SLAVES. Unlike your Mayor who is breaking the law for providing SANCTUARY to illegal residence. We are a country of law and order. Go after the LAWBREAKERS since you have a mouth for it.
