shitgibbon did that when he said that removing statues of Washington and Jefferson would come after removing confederate statues. They are trying to switch the talk of traitors taking up arms against the US with owning slaves. Obviously both are horrific, but nobody ever got a statue for being a slave owner.

There aren't any statues of Benedict Arnold, either. Somebody should ask huckamonster why not.
