Pour one out for the wokies who thought they could topple statues and rewrite history.
Since I already picked on CBS News today, let's see what NBC News had to say:
The bronze statue depicting Confederate Gen. Albert Pike is being restored, the Park Service said in a statement Monday. Officials shared a photo of a worker removing corrosion and paint.
'The restoration aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation's capital and re-instate pre-existing statues,' the agency said in a statement.
Here was BLM in 2020 pretending that they were saving humanity by desecrating statues:
And here's the statue now:
I expected NBC to turn down the woke for their article, but I was surprised that they actually reported the context of why Pike was honored on the National Mall.
The Pike statue, dedicated in 1901, has been a source of controversy for years. The Confederate general also was a longtime leader of the Freemasons, who revere Pike. It was built at the request of Masons, who successfully lobbied Congress to grant them land for the statue as long as Pike would be depicted in civilian, not military, clothing.
He has a statue because he was a Freemason, not because he was a Confederate.
As usual, however, leftists are freaking out.
It is beyond the pale to them for the National Park Service to restore an American icon with a storied background in an attempt to teach and remind us about the nuances of history and its lessons!
Pike was opposed to "Negro suffrage." Though he disagreed with the KKK's methods, he agreed with it in principle. The guy was an actual racist.
But Americans are done with the revision of history, especially revisions that cut open old wounds for the sake of dividing and conquering us. The woke pushed too far, too fast, and now Americans are united around the symbols of their divided past.
They really shouldn't have melted down that statue of Robert E. Lee.
