Hizzoner's missus to decide fate of NYC statues of Washington, Jefferson |
2020-06-20 |
[NYPOST] First Lady Chirlane McCray will put statues and structures honoring historic figures tainted by slavery — including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson — under the microscope as part of a new "Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation," Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio![]() announced Friday. Hizzoner’s move comes a day after five city politicians — including Speaker Corey Johnson — sent a letter requesting the statue of Thomas Jefferson be removed from the City Council’s chamber, as leaders across the city and nation struggle to respond to weeks of protests over racism that followed the death of George Floyd. "This is exactly the kind of thing that this new commissions needs to examine," de Blasio told news hounds during his morning briefing, announcing his wife’s latest assignment. "I think it is the time to evaluate the entire look and feel of this city and a commission that’s focused on justice and reconciliation can really think about a bigger approach." He added: "I’m going to charge them with that task." De Blasio said that would include examining City Hall’s statue of George Washington and the name of the mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion, which was built and owned by a slave owner, Archibald Gracie. |

#2 Federalist 2017 article: A List Of All The Monuments Liberals Want To Tear Down So Far. The Workers World Party released a statement claiming that it should be their right to tear the monuments down. (Basically, a Communist group.) I suppose there could be is a list of left-wing symbols, monuments, symbols and icons to tear down if people want to waste their time with such nonsense. Having said that, if I were into such things, I would propose beginning with the MSM monuments the Dems have built to insure their .longevity. Next, the social media giants. Then, remove anyone who has been in Congress for more than, say a dozen years. Whew! Back to reality. It was fun there for a moment or two. |
