I have not followed this thread completely but I hope that there is not a suggestion that the protesters have just removed/defaced confederate material such that Trump's comments are totally misplaced. This is definitely not true.
Viewers had to endure -for example- my full rant on how these fuckers defaced and damaged the statutes/mural of the 54th massachusetts regiment at the Boston Common. Those soldiers were clearly part of a union regiment and an all black regiment at that. Since then they have damaged/defaced countless union army commemorative sites.
I will say again and again, the lefties have people- including many here- duped into thinking that this is just an anti-confederate/racist movement. WRONG!!! This is a full cancel-culture movement. Anything related to the history of America is to be cancelled and replaced.
Next up in the movement: Assault upon and defacing/burning of churches. Already underway.
Shaun King = big, big buddy of Bernie and has lots of influence in those circles.
American writer Shaun King calls statues of Jesus a tool of white supremacy; urges to be torn down
He took to Twitter and wrote: “Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Demark. Tear them down.”
