So, how many of these statues and monuments were really damaged in August 2017, but sneakily portrayed as happening this past two weeks? MSM opening old wounds caused by hatred Marxists? #Trump2020

Case in point. The taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee was in 2017 by #BlackLivesMatter , not 2020. Were most of our statues damaged and taken down in 2017? These things are not recent, they're being portrayed by Tik Tok, etc., as being done 2020.

Another case in point of statues, etc, being destroyed in 2017. All August 16, 2017 articles. These are a few. This happened in 2017 by BLM.

The best response to white supremacists is to let them march and let them speak — then ridicule and marginalize them. This isn’t hard: They’re already ridiculous and marginal.

If we’re pulling down a monument with one hand and swigging a Starbucks coffee (made from beans harvested by slave labour) with the other, then we’re simply hypocrites. What about sex slaves?
