Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial Now Offensive and Called to be Removed
The Washington Monument is offensive and may just need to be removed, per this week's outrage.
A woke committee reporting to Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser recommended that dozens of historical monuments, schools, parks, and government buildings should be changed. The committee cited "racism" and mentioned the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial as among the problems.
To no surprise, Tuesday, Bowser said she looks forward to advancing the recommendations.
George Washington, huh? Thomas Jefferson, too? That damn Benjamin Franklin.
Senator Lindsey Graham summed it up:
"Just when you thought it couldn’t get crazier....it did," Graham tweeted. "The idea of DC renaming monuments to our Founding Fathers — who created the greatest country on Earth — is beyond offensive. Yet another reason DC should never be a state!"
It just got crazier.
So crazy, even perpetually offended John Oliver didn't see it coming.
It appears "somewhere," doesn't exist.
At this rate, odds are there will soon be a push to change the name that appears in front of "D.C." A few come to mind that would satisfy this mob: Sharpton, AOC, Winfrey, and Cuomo (Andrew, not his brother). Miss any?
I'm also curious if there will be demands to remove the title of "president" from 90% of our past leaders? Starting with Donald Trump, obviously. Or, as the NBA did, maybe we will retire the term altogether?
And why stop there?
