If you weren't aware, Robert E. Lee's statue was moved from the Capitol in the dead of night during the George Floyd insanity. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine was there for the historic moment.

It's one thing for a Democrat to celebrate the erasure and rewriting of history, but what about Virginia's REPUBLICAN governor?

The governor of Virginia is out here celebrating the replacement of a statue of General Robert E. Lee, one of the most significant figures in American history, with a black woman (the optics are intentional).

Forget, for a moment, how you feel about Lee or the Civil War, and remember what President Trump said in his first term (and how it was dismissed as crazy talk) ๐Ÿ‘‡

Then George Floyd happened and Washington, Jefferson, and Columbus were, in fact, next.

5 years removed from tearing down Lee, the Republican governor of Virginia is celebrating its replacement.

My, how times have changed.

People had thoughts.
