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:
Ok, send me all your dollar bills, I will get rid of all the pictures of Washington the slave owner…. wouldn’t want you to be repressed
On Thursday, Trump sent out a series of tweets showing his disappointment that historical monuments were being torn down.
“Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.”
Later on Thursday, Trump did something even more powerful that will stop Dems in their tracks!
A spokesperson for the Interior Department said that they refuse to take down monuments to Confederate soldiers at national battlefields which are “an important part of our country’s history.” According to the Washington Examiner, the Interior Department also announced that it will be sending millions of dollars worth of historic preservation grants to help states protect their historic monuments.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke backed Trump and said what Dems everywhere need to hear: “Don’t rewrite history. Understand it for what it is and teach our kids the importance of looking at our magnificent history as a country and why we are what we are.”
Thank God for President Trump standing up for American history!
Michael or Jesse both were or are fucking idiots
The protestors forget that they were freeded by white people who believed it was and is wrong no matter how you look at it, no one show be enslaved, bullies or made to feel inadequate. Although no one should have to put up with the c**p that is going on now with statues, monuments that are part of History. Those Statues and Monuments allow us to look at them and know how far we have come and the headway we have made in
Not good role models are they?
