NYC Mayor de Blasio removes statue of Thomas Jefferson from city hall

I assume Comrade de Blasio will find a nice statue of King George III or Joseph Stalin to put in Jefferson's place:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is removing a statue of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and a Founding Father, from City Hall after nearly two centuries.

New York City's Public Design Commission, each member of which is appointed by the mayor, is planning to loan the Jefferson statue to the New York Historical Society. The commission has listed the statue's loan under its "consent" agenda, meaning the decision to remove the statue will not be open for public debate, according to the New York Post.

That's clever. Sure, the statue has been there for 187 years, but de Blasio is just "loaning" it for the moment until the outcry dies down, at which point I assume it'll live in a storage shed somewhere.

This has been a push of the leftist NYC city council for years.

But one councilman absolutely shredded the mayor for the move:

"The de Blasio administration will continue the progressive war on history as he, himself, fades away into a portrait on a City Hall wall," Republican Councilman Joe Borelli told the Post. "I hope he is at least gone a couple hundred years before someone cancels him."

"I hope he is at least gone a couple hundred years before someone cancels him."

That's giving de Blasio a lot of credit.

Jefferson, though a sinful man like the rest of us, was one of the founders of an exceptionally new mode of civilization: A self-ruled nation set upon the protection of Natural Rights and Natural Law and guided upon the biblical virtues of justice, grace, and liberty.

He served as a statesman and president across decades of civil service to see that young nation succeed.

The only thing that will exist of de Blasio a few decades from now are old videos of him awkwardly eating burgers.
