A Virginia judge ruled Tuesday that Gov. Ralph Northam’s order to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee can be enforced – but also barred any action pending an appeal from the statue’s supporters.
A group of local residents sued to keep Lee’s statue in place, arguing that its removal could cost their neighborhood its status as a National Historic Landmark — and potentially lead to decreased property values and less favorable taxes.
The statue is 21 feet tall and sits atop a more than 40-foot-tall pedestal.
Northam praised the judge’s decision, and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring called it a “HUGE win” on Twitter.
“The Lee monument was built to celebrate the Confederacy and uphold white supremacy,” Northam said in a statement. “This victory moves Virginia forward in removing this relic of the past—one that was erected for all the wrong reasons.”
When will people wake up? These dumbocrats are communists and are trying to change our history like the minitry of truth in 1984.
This is something that the Soviets did.
Leave America’s Statues ALONE !!! Take down MLK on then !!!!
This pisses me off! This is the path to destroying white America, thanks to White Cowards.
