Democrat Call to Remove Gettysburg’s Confederate Statues Receives Backlash. Recently a county commissioner called for the removal of all Confederate statues in Gettysburg.Recently, Democratic commissioner from Adams County, Marty Qually, called for the Confederate statues’ removal on Facebook following a hoax flag burning on Independence Day weekend, reportedly organized by Antifa.
They didn't show up, but a bunch of folks across the country showed up to protect the statues and this commissioner was upset about it. Now yesterday BLM showed up to protest, and they were met by counter protestors and no violence happened. So the commissioner worried about nothing. You can see his ranting and raving here.
Here's State Representative Dan Moul's response.Today, armed racist morons have come to our community responding to an obvious flag burning hoax. These racists have come to protect the confederate monuments, a made up situation which our local law enforcement had well in hand. They are walking in our community with semi-automatic weapons and confederate flags. Our local law enforcement doesn’t need the expense or the risk.
If this is the cost of having confederate monuments in Gettysburg and if this is the lesson we are to learn, then I’m out of the middle of the road. Take the confederate statues down. Our economy cannot survive a pandemic and a morondemic at the same time.
Moul added that Qually’s call to bring down the Confederate monuments at Gettysburg was “insanity.”
“If you wipe our history away, we are bound to repeat it. And, that’s a place we never want to go again in this country,” he continued.
What say you?
