THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. REMOVING STATUES AND VANDALIZING THEM HAS "NOTHING" TO DO WITH S***ERY OR BEING OPPRESSED!!
In
the midst of anti-Confederacy monument hysteria sweeping the nation, not even America’s beloved 16th president – who issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 that freed the s***es – is safe from mayhem and destruction.
Chicago Alderman Ray Lopez says vandals torched a bust of Abraham Lincoln that stood in West Englewood for nearly 100 years.
And Lopez places blame for the destruction squarely at the feet of President Trump.
What the hell....are you KIDDING me!!
He claims the president emboldened vandals in the “Land of Lincoln” when Trump blamed “both sides” for violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, rally, which left one woman dead and 38 injured.
“When you have a president who, from his point of moral authority as leader of the free world, condones the actions of w***e s*********ts, neo-N**is, people who believe in a segregated society – when he refuses to refute what their actions are – you embolden people to continue,” Lopez said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
“They’re not being told what they’re doing is wrong. You inspire people to act on the anger and emotions that they’ve had in them and tried to hold inside. Now, you’re giving them a path to come out and be as anger-filled as they want to be.”
President Trump unequivocally and repeatedly condemned the “violence, bigotry and hatred” and called for national unity. But it still wasn’t enough for the mainstream media and l*****t detractors. Despite the mishmash of extremist groups on the scene, the left and mainstream media demanded that Trump condemn the h**eful actions specifically of the w***e s*********ts and neo-N**is. But nary a peep was said of A****a’s role in the violence. On Monday, President Trump specifically condemned w***e s*********ts. On Tuesday, Trump said: “I think there’s blame on both sides. You had a group on one side that was bad. You had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Nobody wants to say that. I’ll say it right now.”
Meanwhile, a West Englewood resident disputed Lopez’s claims, saying he believes the damage to Lincoln was done early last month, when “people were out partying on the 4th of July and lighting fireworks off of it.
“It’s f—ed up, honestly,” Christopher Jackson told the paper. “You’d think people would appreciate it. They should appreciate it. Abraham Lincoln is Abraham Lincoln. He freed the s***es.”
But Lopez stuck to his claims and accusations: “I believe what happened to Abraham Lincoln wasn’t just a random act of violence,” he said. “It wasn’t just [plastered] with graffiti or tipped over. This was an intentional act to try to destroy this statue.
“The fire was intense. The soot is baked onto it. There was some planning and some effort to try and destroy this bust, which has been in the community for almost 100 years now. One of the individuals whose family was in the community during the 1920s remembers when the statue was erected. He believes it was actually part of the art from the World’s Fair. It’s unfortunate and d********g that we have so much h**e-filled rhetoric that it inspires people to destroy works of art, particularly a work of art for one of the greatest presidents in this country’s history.”
Twitter reaction to the vandalism was fierce and included the following tweets:
“It’s about hatred of America, not r****m or N**is.” – John Cardillo“It’s pure hatred for the United States.” – Vic Lyn“This is a testament of our public schools educational system.” – Truck Nation“This is going to get ginned up and they’ll start attacking anyone they think is on the right.” – Jody“What is the message here? We don’t know U.S. history, or we like to destroy stuff cuz it’s fun?” – BayAreaFrau“This is what it looks like when the slope becomes slippery. This dude freed the damn s***es.” – Will Power“Public school system in Chicago on display.” – JC“Wow, not even Lincoln is safe. Our education system is a complete failure.” – Steve Trammell

As WND has been reporting, a nationwide effort is underway to remove Confederate statues and symbols from government grounds across America.
In dozens of cities across the U.S., activists are vandalizing and toppling Confederate monuments and symbols. They’re also pushing for cities, counties and states to destroy or relocate statues dating back more than a hundred years.
But now, even symbols and monuments unrelated to the Confederacy are under attack.
On Thursday, a tweet from VICE magazine stated, “Let’s blow up Mount Rushmore,” a national monument featuring the faces of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
The tweet had been “liked” more than 250 times and retweeted 165 times at the time of this report.

Lopez isn't interested in facts if fireworks were being set off from the statue, it makes sense that it could show damage. Moving on: When will the feckless Bob Corker be v**ed out of office. What a jack ass this guy is. Anytime the left wing media want something disparaging said about the president, they run to this RINO ass.

Lopez, et al, is what is wrong with this country.
