JTN: Two of the Confederate leaders who were not Democrats did not have a historically documented political party affiliation.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for the removal of 11 statues of Confederate leaders from the Capitol building, nine of which were members of the Democratic Party.
The other two Confederates, Edmund Kirby Smith and Robert E. Lee, did not have a documented political affiliation, according to historical accounts. Lee reportedly joined Democrats in opposition to Republicans who “demanded punitive measures against the South” during reconstruction. more
They should just throw White Sheets over Them….That’s how They
handled problems in the past
When are they going to scrub Robert Byrd from their history?
I am getting really ticked off at these jerk’s. I don’t want these statues or monuments torn down so you can feel better about yourselves, you damn Demonrats are the party of slavery since before the Civil War, which continues to this day with all your empty promise’s.

As a previous post mentioned where are the gutless Republicans? Where are the polls asking if the American people want historical monuments torn down? Doesn’t fit their narrative so you won’t hear a peep.
While you’re at it, Taliban, rename the Russell Senate Office Building and everything named after Robert Byrd.
Both were segregationists.
Hide you roots Nancy, those in your hair and those in your soul!
Repeal the 19th Amendment
As you can tell from her death mask/photo her sailing ship left port a long time ago.
Hey GOP; Film each removal of that Democrat rogues gallery
and condense it into a nice campaign advertisement like:
“Senator Byrd, Democrat 60 years in the Senate and Grand
Kleegle of the KKK….and so forth….”
Woodrow Wilson public schools and buildings are still OK though
William Monroe Trotter Challenges President Wilson
Civil Rights activist and journalist William Monroe Trotter caused a stir in 1914 because he strongly protested President Woodrow Wilson’s support for segregation of black federal employees in the workplace. Trotter came to the White House as a founder and representative of the National Independent Political League, a militant organization that fought for racial and social justice, and the publisher of The Guardian, a Boston newspaper dedicated to the fight against racial discrimination.
In a meeting with Wilson, Trotter directly challenged the president for permitting the segregation of black and white government clerks. Angered by this confrontation that questioned his integrity, President Wilson declared himself “offended” and had Trotter removed from the White House. Trotter then took his case to the press and ridiculed the president for introducing segregation into the federal work force as a means to prevent racial friction. The activist noted that black and white clerks had worked together without problems for more than 50 years. Trotter devoted his career to the fight against racial discrimination and to the development of independent political action in the black community. He led numerous non-violent protests and demonstrations against conservative black leaders like Booker T. Washington for being too accommodating and attacked films and plays that glorified the Ku Klux Klan. At that time Trotter’s confrontational tactics were highly controversial, but his activism and approach became a model for the Civil Rights Movement from 1940 to 1970.
Are the state of Washington Congressional representatives going to call for the removal of Marcus Whitman’s statue from Statuary Hall inside the US Capitol because he might have been racist to the Cayuse Indians around Walla Walla in the early 1840’s who massacred him and his family.
Hillary’s gettin her burn on… Bela Pelosi is quickly surpassing her as the ultimate hypocritical cunt!!
