Gov. Northam seeks bill to remove statue of Robert E. Lee from US Capitol Building

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?

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.

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.

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.
