@BombinMedia@hb1290hb@ScooterCasterNY “Colonisers”? Revolutionary soldiers?
Suspect it’s the one of Rodney — the slaveowner — that’s controversial.
Especially as it’s in 🇺🇸Americas’ 250th Anniversary year.
(Pretty bad taste, considering that, in fact)
No wonder Delaware removed it. Should really be in a museum.
@JakeThe53997336@ScooterCasterNY Putting up statues in Freedom Plaza (dear God), is a good idea as a tourist attraction.
This isn’t that.
What’s the betting they never consulted anyone about the subjects?
National Archives, art historians/experts and the like?
And now they have to protect them from citizens.
@MCE072166@idontgethowthis@ScooterCasterNY 🏆 Well done for posting this image/explanation throughout the comments — thank you.
Saved the rest of us a lot of time!
Appreciated.
@hb1290hb@Lobstirr@ScooterCasterNY@USBornNRaised I looked them up.
Jesus. No wonder they’re controversial (one in particular). Not just to Lib media folks either, I expect.
So Trump allowed/asked his people to dig that up from Delaware and install it in the middle of D.C.?
More likely Stephen Miller — definitely his style!
@Lobstirr@ScooterCasterNY@USBornNRaised Dunno. Are they of Confederate Generals, or something?
(Come to think of it, I wouldn’t put that past Trump)
Perhaps they’re of ghastly people?
(Can’t imagine Donald or *any* of his people knowing anything about classical Greco-Roman sculpture)
Consulted no-one about them?
@SissyWoods@ScooterCasterNY Poor Jeanine Pirro — not doing too well, is she?
Trapped. Can’t walk out on Trump — yet failing really badly.
Until he fires her — and another wretched incompetent will be absorbed into the utter mess of the DOJ.
@DanByers12@ScooterCasterNY Yes, there were a lot of them, wasn’t there!
Quickly too.
Speculation: One wonders if it’s because they’ve been ordered to watch out for these statues being damaged by disgruntled citizenry — and if it also proves there’s far too many personnel policing the militarised city.
