Don't these idiots EVER get tired of pandering?!?!

U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine on Wednesday introduced a bill to redesignate the site known as “Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial” at Arlington National Cemetery to simply the “Arlington House National Historic Site.”

Companion legislation has been introduced in the House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, Va.-8th District.

The legislation, Kaine’s office told InsideNoVa, would repeal statutes memorializing Lee dating back to 1955, when Congress renamed the memorial the “Custis-Lee Mansion” from its original title of “Arlington House.”

“The names of our national sites hold significance and should honor individuals whom we can all look up to ' Kaine said in a news release. “That’s why I’m introducing this legislation to remove Robert E. Lee’s name from Arlington House. During Black History Month, we recommit to restoring the original name to better tell the whole history of the house and reflect our nation’s values.”

Overseen by the National Park Service, the mansion is on federal land within the U.S. Army portion of Arlington National Cemetery. It was built by George Washington Park Custis, grandson of Martha Custis Washington – the nation’s original first lady – as the first memorial to George Washington.

Custis’ daughter later married Gen. Robert E. Lee and lived in the home until the Civil War, at which time the site was selected as a national military cemetery.

Kaine’s legislation comes at the behest of descendants of people who were enslaved at Arlington House.

According to the National Parks Service, “Arlington House is the nation’s memorial to Robert E. Lee. It honors him for specific reasons, including his role in promoting peace and reunion after the Civil War. In a larger sense it exists as a place of study and contemplation of the meaning of some of the most difficult aspects of American history: military service; sacrifice; citizenship; duty; loyalty; slavery and freedom.”

Robert E. Lee was more of an American and a gentleman than these buffoons will ever be. Not in 2026, idiots, not in 2026!

Is this the same Kaine from the “Kaine and Unable” Clinton Presidential campaign?

I just did some research on him and it is a bit strange that not once was it mentioned that he worships Satan.

Tim Kaine is a tiny shallow husk compared to the man that Lee was.

Taking the man’s name off his house can’t change that reality.

And I say that as someone whose great great grandfather, along with all four of his brothers, were officers in the Union army.

He was widely respected and considered America’s greatest general, he just happened to be from Virginia and a man of honor.

Strangely enough, General Lee wouldn’t have considered that disrespectful. They were fellow soldiers who, in another life, he might’ve commanded. And HE respected that…respected the fraternity.

The left:
"We used overwhelming force and military action to take land from people that didn't want to be ran by the US government. This land is stolen!

Also the left:

The land was stolen from Lee by the yankee government. After the war Lee's son sued the government to get it back and won, but agreed to sell it back to them

There’s these guys. I particularly like Mr. Barigold’s invention and think we should go back to his original name for it.

This demonstrates how disconnected the DC elite are from the attitude of the common folks. The DEI, muh racism, stupidity has been overcome by everyday, logical, common folks......

"wouldn't have considered that disrespectful "

They stole his livelihood and his sacred land.
The disrespect was there.
He was the best and they hated him for fighting for his State and people.
