House Democrats include removal of Confederate statues in funding bill

Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee on Monday released a draft of a funding bill that includes a provision to remove statues and busts of those who served the Confederacy or have "unambiguous records of racial intolerance" from the U.S. Capitol, setting up a potential fight over the issue as President Trump emphasizes preserving such tributes in at least some circumstances.
The bill, which provides more than $4 billion to fund the legislative branch as part of the fiscal year that begins in October, is almost certain not to pass in its current form due to how Congress has run its appropriations process in recent years. But it could serve as a template for continuing resolutions that keep the government running, and the statue-removal provision could make its way into that legislation.
"The bill includes language directing the Architect of the Capitol to remove statues or busts in the U.S. Capitol that represent figures who participated in the Confederate Army or government, as well as the statues of individuals with unambiguous records of racial intolerance, Charles Aycock, John C. Calhoun, and James Paul Clarke, and the bust of Roger B. Taney," an online summary of the bill reads.

Democrats are evil people. Where are the so-called "moderate" or "centrists" to call out their peers for this idiocy? I'm looking at YOU, John Bel Edwards and Jim Bernhard!

Why not just call it the Year Zero Bill then? Have some fricking balls and admit your end game.

This wasn’t important from 2009 to 2011 when the Democrats were president, House majority, Senate majority.
Why?
Why?

Because, at the time, they controlled both chambers and the White House. They were more concerned with transformational changes that would cement them in the long term like ObamaCare.
Now they see this as a lever to power by stirring up shite since Marxist groups have been operating for about a decade or more in the country. Not including college professors, that is a different set of marxists.

Does racial intolerance include swindling or forcing Indians off their land into concentration camps and killing those that resisted?
