Ironic coming from Gohmert who without a doubt would be a slave owning democrat if this was the right year.
Uhm... couple of things... Trump is a big fan of Andrew Jackson, so I’m sure that’s safe. Second... I don’t think Trump knows who Andrew Jackson actually is... because he couldn’t have seen the civil war, to be angry about it... I’ll let you guess why... Hint: Not deep state...Originally Posted by Trump

Let’s put a spin on it... where did republican voters come from, during Lincoln... because if we are going to call democrats racist, let’s discuss who voted for anti slavery republicans and who didn’t... Current republican strong holds, did not vote for Lincoln... they attacked him...

Why didn’t the south vote for a republican, during Lincoln’s time? Why did current republican strong holds, rise up against Lincoln the republican and still carry the flag if rising up against this republican? What is so different between Lincoln, to be so hated by the south then, to now be a republican strong hold with support for Trump?
What changed between Lincoln and Trump, for current republican voter strong holds, to not support a republican... to such an extent, they still wave flags for attacking him? What changed?
Why has part of the country that is all in on Republicans now, attack republicans named Lincoln?

Ironic coming from the same republicans, waving the flag that started a civil war over Lincoln the republican being against slavery... If Lincoln is such an icon of GOP today, why ya all fighting to keep a flag of those that tried to kill him?

And herein lies the rub - the GOP knows all this, and the "Congressman's" bill is just a big distraction effort, doing whatever they can to take the spotlight off their own abysmal record.
All anyone has to look at today is which political party is fighting for equal rights for all, and which party is called the GOP. They are not the same.

I mean, if Green Jesus doesn't protect these poor celebrities from making jokes about beating their kids if they turn out to be gay, making overtly racist comments, or jokes (and in Milo's case, defenses for) behaviors that are so disgusting I won't even repeat, who will!?!?

The interesting part of all of this, of course, is that that wicked Left, those rabid Democrats.........are tearing down statues of Democrats, because that's what the Confederates were.
Seems like we can distinguish a name from one's actual actions.
As for the Gandhi thing, as an Indian immigrant myself - his racism towards Africans early in his career is quite widely known. I happen to be of the belief that he changed and renounced those views by the time he was leading India to nonviolent independence (and there's some of his beliefs on records to indicate that), but I can imagine why Africans wouldn't want a statue venerating him.
In that regard, I think Grant and Gandhi kind of fall in the same regard.
