CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 3, 2020
IF YOU’RE MAKING A LIST OF THE DUMBEST IDEAS IN HISTORY, PUT THIS ONE AT OR NEAR THE TOP.
D.C. MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER WANTS TO REMOVE, RELOCATE OR “CONTEXTUALIZE” WASHINGTON’S MOST FAMOUS MEMORIALS TO OUR GREATEST LEADERS. THESE INCLUDE THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, JEFFERSON MEMORIAL AND STATUES TO CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, WHO HAS ALREADY LOST HIS HOLIDAY TO “INDIGENOUS P[EOPLES” DAY, ANDREW JACKSON AND OTHERS WHO DON’T MEASURE UP TO THE FAR-LEFT’S MODERN STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO SLAVERY, LGBT RIGHTS AND PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE VIOLATED THE DC HUMAN RIGHTS ACT IF IT HAD EXISTED AT THE TIME.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAYLEIGH MCENANY CALLED THE PROPOSAL “LUDICROUS” AND ACCUSED MAYOR BOWSER OF “REPEATING THE SAME LEFT-WING NARRATIVE USED TO INCITE DANGEROUS RIOTS.” SHE SAID THE MAYOR WANTS TO “DEMOLISH OUR HISTORY AND DESTROY OUR GREAT HERITAGE” AND THAT AS LONG AS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE SUCH A MOVE WILL GO NOWHERE.
THAT’S THE CHALLENGE, ISN’T IT? IF THE LEFT TAKES OVER IN NOVEMBER THESE AND OTHER DUMB IDEAS MIGHT WELL BE ENACTED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
