A portrait of Confederate general Robert E Lee that includes a slave guiding his horse is set to be reinstated in the Pentagon.
The 20-foot-tall painting, which was on display at the United States Military Academy for 70 years, will be hung in the West Point library under President Trump’s instruction despite a congressionally mandated commission that ordered its removal back in 2020.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Taking down a portrait is not erasing history, it’s merely refusing to celebrate particular people or behaviors that the entire world finds abhorrent in 2025.
It’s all lies. They didn’t believe what they say, they’re doing it to make their racist as shit supporters feel like they win someone, while they rob them blind and destroy their rights behind their backs.
well, apparently not the entire world
Also, it’s rich coming from the administration that has basically killed the Smithsonian because they don’t want them to talk about slavery.
The same dipshits pretended that people were learning history from statues. Instead of what those statues were actually for, and that was as a gigantic fuck you to Blacks, liberals, and the United States and a celebration of the Confederate traitor losers.
