Maryland gov orders statue of Dred Scott judge to be removed
By Olivia Beavers - 08/15/17 03:51 PM EDT

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Tuesday that he supports removing the statue of former Chief Justice Roger Taney, who authored the infamous Dred Scott court decision that upheld the practice of slavery in 1857.

“While we cannot hide from our history — nor should we — the time has come to make clear the difference between properly acknowledging our past and glorifying the darkest chapters of our history," Hogan said in a statement.

"With that in mind, I believe removing the Justice Roger B. Taney statue from the State House grounds is the right thing to do, and we will ask the State House Trust to take that action immediately,” he continued.

People here are right. Jefferson and Washington are next. I guess the Washington Monument will be torn down. Even Lincoln, the guy who freed the slaves, isn't safe.

Fast Forward 50 years when our Nation's Capital will be "Obama DC".  (And the 'C' in 'DC' won't stand for 'Columbia')

More erasing of Democrat party history and tearing down monuments to Democrats.
