Call me when Pelosi cancels the memory of her father.
"I think it is important for The Baltimore Sun to remind its readers on how it reported the official dedication of the Lee/Jackson Monument on May 2, 1948. A crowd of 3,000 came to the Wyman Park dedication to lots of pomp and fanfare. I believe what was said then must be taken into historical context. The dedication words were spoken from the heart by two of Maryland's most revered politicians during the height of Jim Crow here in Charm City and six years before the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling.
Here is what Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., then mayor of Baltimore, and father of House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi said at the dedication, accepting the statue as the official representative of Baltimore:
"World Wars I and II found the North and South fighting for a common cause, and the generalship and military science displayed by these two great men in the War between the States lived on and were applied in the military plans of our nation in Europe and the Pacific areas.
"Today with our nation beset by subversive groups and propaganda which seeks to destroy our national unity, we can look for inspiration to the lives of Lee and Jackson to remind us to be resolute and determined in preserving our sacred institutions...."
Her father was a stark raving racist, as evidenced by the words he spoke in praise of both Lee and Jefferson, and advocating for the preservation of our sacred institutions.
Nancy Pelosi is guilty by association with her father. Purge her immediately.
In all honesty, if Democrats were truly honest about wanting to purge all images and vestiges of Americas racist past, they should get rid of their name, and re-brand themselves.
Democrats are responsible for slavery, secession, the assassination of president Lincoln, the KKK, segregation, opposition to civil rights, opposition to school integration, etc., etc., throughout most of their history.
Funny thing is many of the ignorant kids of today have no clue about the evil history of the Democrat party, and the leftist media does it's best to pretend it didn't exist.
Frankly, I am not for tearing down or destroying our history (good nor bad). But if the Democrats are all for destroying statues and removing former racist Speaker of the Houses portraits (all Democrats), why have none of them (at least as of today) called for the renaming of their party, due to it's ugly and evil history?
Where are all the Leftists bashing Trump’s grandfather but now they are silent on Pelosi’s father, who is closer generationally to Pelosi than Trump is to his grandfather?
Saw an argument that the dems didn’t start the kkk or other racist laws. Conservative and liberal were mixed i to both democrats and republicans. So there were alot of conservative democrats at the time, while republicans had progressives.
The kkk just happened to start under democrats. After a ehile the kkk didn’t feel at home in that party as it started to shift away from their views.
I mean it’s sort of pointless to keep pointing put dem history if the kkk or neo nazis of today are not gonna be voting democrat anytime soon.
The right keeps holding that over dems yet people with those very ideologies are not gonna feel at home in the democrat side.
I think the kkk was more of a southern thing than it was a party thing.
The most powerful the KKK ever got was in Indiana.
