RICHMOND, Va. (NBC) — The governor of Virginia is seeking a bill to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol Building.
According to a spokesperson, Gov. Ralph Northam filed a drafting request for a bill that would outline the process for removing the statue and selecting a replacement.
This comes after state representatives Jennifer Wexton and Donald McEachin sent a letter calling on Northam to make replacing the statue part of his agenda for the 2020 legislative session.
In the letter, they argue that the statue aims to “rewrite Lee’s reputation from that of a cruel slave owner and Confederate general.”

This is ridiculous. It would appear those in VA have nothing better to legislate than tearing babies from wombs and legal guns from citizens. Now this? Northam is a racist but gets a pass for being a Dem. Is this another example of pandering so his sins are overlooked?
He really wants that civil war AGAIN
How can the people of this country keep voting for Communists!!!
LOL. I thought ya'll didn't like participation trophies?
Someone needs to remove Northam!
Keep that racist Governer out of Federally funded buildings. He has no business dictating the desires of taxpaying citizens for which he does not represent.
843am..your true color and ignorance shin threw.
If you know your history youd know it was about standing against an oppressive government, slavery was just the excuse and the topic of the day. Lincoln acknowledged this several times, even threatened to jail the supreme court judge to shut him up. Northam wants to remove any history of rebellion against government and of course he hopes to strike anger to the citizens in hopes of rebellion and chaos so he can call for martial law. He wants citizens jailed and in chains so he can rule without fear. I pray something helps him with his fear as well as the others, during the dark of night.
search ewe twob for Valor Ridge, conspiracy to violate civil liberties
Time to get rid of that Piece of $hit Guv. Blackface before causes any more damage to that state. General Lee was more of a man than Blackface will ever be!!
Permanently, just like he is doing to infants!
Because they are DUMB Democrats!
Enough with the Civil War statues they need to be left standing and put the others back, it was a time of war and soldiers died on both sides, it was not a race war.
Somebody needs to take this clown out
10:42 his days are numbered. If he really goes after our guns than he better have loads of body guards and eyes in the back of his head.
Virginians voted in a real POS anti American commie.
It is history no matter what you think it stands for!
Leave it there as a learning tool.
F--- Gov. Northam
Northwest Woodsman: Another cultural Marxist following their policies of destroying historical icons that reflect our heritage. They have a play book that they are following to the letter and eventually will eliminate us and our culture. We need to stand up and fight these Pedomarxist democrats because they want to bring about our total destruction.
