Black Commentator Angela Rye on CNN called for statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to come down Thursday on the network.
On the same day that Communist news network CNN aired a debate promoting the removal of monuments and statues dedicated to Washington and Jefferson, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for 11 Confederate statues to be removed from the Capitol. A massive rewriting of American history is underway, and when it is finished, the race anarchists will then set their sights on the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution as well. After all, our founding documents were written by slave owners, were they not?
In a letter sent on Wednesday, Pelosi asked the
Joint Committee on the Library — led by Senate Rules and Administration Chairman Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, and House Administration Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat — to direct the Architect of the Capitol to remove the statues of soldiers and officials who
represent the Confederacy.
As I have said before, I am a Yankee from the North, but it is disgusting and terrifying the movement underway right now to equate the Confederate flag with Nazism, for it is nothing of the kind. But the
rebellion underway by ANTIFA and
Black Lives Matter I absolutely do connect with Nazism, especially the Brown Shirt thugs who took down Germany through mob rule. Hitler burned books he disagreed with, now the anarchists want to burn and destroy the things they disagree with. No surprise that this is being promoted by CNN.
CNN Angela Rye: Washington, Jefferson Statues "Need To Come Down"
FROM REAL CLEAR POLITICS: "American history is not all glorious... George Washington was a slave owner. We need to call slave owners out for what they are. Whether we think they were protecting American freedom or not, he wasn't protecting my freedoms," the network contributor said.
"To me, I don't care if it's a George Washington statue or Thomas Jefferson, they all need to come down," Rye concluded.
Rye's remarks came after Daily Beast editor John Avlon argued Washington spent his life trying to unite the nation.
Full remarks:
ANGELA RYE, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: We have to get to the heart of the problem here. The heart is the way many of us were taught American history. American history is not all glorious. I love John to death, but I couldn't disagree more about George Washington. George Washington was a slave owner. We need to call slave owners out for what they are. Whether we think they were protecting American freedom or not, he wasn't protecting my freedoms. I wasn't someone -- my ancestors weren't deemed human beings. To me, I don't care if it's a George Washington statue or Thomas Jefferson, they all need to come down. There is a way to recognize...
I'm not feeding into white supremacy. I'm calling out white supremacy for what it is. And sometimes what it is, John, are blind spots. Sometimes what it is, is not acknowledging this country was built on a very violent past that resulted in death and the rape and the killing of my ancestors. I'm not going to allow us to say it's OK for Robert E. Lee and not a George Washington. We need to call it what it is. I don't say they don't deserve to be taught about. We definitely need to learn about it so we don't repeat it. We are close to repeating it right now. I'm not giving any deference to George Washington or Robert E. Lee.
