Bill de Blasio to Remove Thomas Jefferson Statue ...

Typical behavior for a liberal Dem: discrediting a founding father. And a prime objective of those attempting to establish a socialist or communist society is to erase a country's history. The tearing down or removal of a country's monuments & statues is just one aspect of that.

From Orwell's '1984':

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Be better if Blasio was removed & TJ remained.
