The left is seizing the chance once again to label all Republicans and conservatives as racists if they don't want the statues pulled down. This is the left grasping at straws to find an issue.
They've exhausted most of the weird sex rights issues, so they have to keep finding the odd, mostly irrelevant issues to stir things up. That's all they really want to do....stir their excitable base up to keep them voting Dem.
