Unfortunately this isn’t a joke headline, and, Donald Trump actually called most of those bizarre statues “beautiful”. Keeping up with his pro-nationalism rhetoric, Trump, tweeted that ….
“Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You….. / …can’t change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson – who’s next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also… / …the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!”…
Meanwhile, others weren’t so hip to his love for the statues. A prime example…
Soledad O’ Brien took to Twitter to denounce his comments citing one particular (and one of many examples of the racist statues). “United States troops … reinstated the usurpers but the national election November 1876 recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state.” she posted on Twitter followed by a tweet
