Richmond was the capital of the confederacy from 1861-1865.

Lee led a foreign army against the United States resulting in the senseless deaths of 600,000 Americans. I don't think that's something to celebrate.

"Sen. Richard Stuart, R-Stafford, gave a brief speech in support of Lee and asking that the Senate adjourn Friday in his honor. Saturday is Lee’s birthday.

“I rise today to celebrate the 212th birthday of Robert E. Lee and, Mr. President, I rise to celebrate his birthday because he was a great Virginian and a great American, and not because it has anything to do with slavery,” Stuart said. “I celebrate Lee on his birthday because he was a man with the strength of his convictions, and that is a rare trait, either in yesteryear or today.”"

And they also celebrated Stonewall Jackson? Today, in 2019?

WTF? We need to vote the GOP racist trash out of Richmond. This is unacceptable.



Further proof that Republicans LOVE identity politics.


Democrats are the ones who elected a racist and a rapist to the top two jobs.


Hell, the Republicans elected a racist and a rapist to president of the United States!
