Jeh Johnson admits there are “security issues” surrounding Confederate monuments across the United States — and he’s right, they’re under attack by violent leftist extremists — but he isn’t willing to call out his own party. Instead, he says that the vandalism is the fault of the far-right who use the symbols as “rallying points for white nationalism.”
Here’s what he said last Sunday on ABC’s This Week:
What alarms so many of us from a security perspective is that so many of the statues, the confederate monuments are now modern-day becoming symbols and rallying points for white nationalism, for neo-Nazis, for the KKK. This is most alarming. We fought a world war against Nazism. The KKK rained terror on people for generations. People are alarmd. I salute those in cities and states taking down monuments for reasons of public safety and security. That’s not a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of public safety and Homeland Security and doing what’s right.
Johnson is correct, the statues have become public safety hazards, but that’s only because the extreme wing of his party is targeting the statues and rioting in their presence. If he were too willing to stand up to his party and call out the vandals, he may be on to something. But he seems much more interested in politicking.
