House Votes to Purge ALL Confederate Statues From the Capitol

The House only controls what happens on the House side of the Capitol, not the Senate side, not the Rotunda.

Well, hopefully, the Senate will get involved in removing Confederate statues from the Capitol as well.

Uncertain what that other member is saying? H.R.3005 was received in the Senate on July 12, 2021.

H.R.3005 - To direct the Joint Committee on the Library to replace the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the United States Capitol with a bust of Thurgood Marshall to be obtained by the Joint Committee on the Library and to remove certain statues from areas of the United States Capitol which are accessible to the public, to remove all statues of individuals who voluntarily served the Confederate States of America from display in the United States Capitol, and for other purposes.
