I didn't hear his speech but as a general rule I think anyone that's into revisionist history is a fricking idiot.

It was stupid to take them down because there was no outcry to do so. Now there will be monuments to the slave trade put up in their place. None of this helps moving forward.

Well, you fricking idiot, if you bothered to read the speech, you'd know that he explains why it's not revisionist history. Erecting monuments to The Cult of the Lost Cause and promoting a sanitized version of Confederacy--that was revisionist history.
