Kevin McCarthy Wants to Withhold Money from States That Don't Protect Statues [View all]

FRI, JUL 3RD, 2020
BY DARRAGH ROCHE

Kevin McCarthy wants to withhold federal funds from any state that does not protect statues from protesters. The Republican will offer a bill to give legal effect to his idea.

The House Minority Leader is reacting to recent protests following the death of George Floyd. Demonstrators have targeted several statues, particularly those depicting slaveholders and other racists.

McCarthy framed his bill as forcing states and cities to uphold the law.

“Whether it’s a monument of Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves or four of our greatest, Democrats no longer view the richness of our country’s history worthy.”
