There are statues of Confederates INSIDE the Capitol building. 17 of them! Pelosi has indicated she will try to get rid of them, but Republicans are crying foul.

That is how fucked up this situation is. We have statues of TRAITORS, of people who took up arms against the United States, in places of honor in our damned Capitol building!

We have MANY disgraces in our country, one of the biggest, is having a rally in Tulsa today.
