Legislation working its way through Congress would remove statues of Confederate leaders from the Capitol, citing their support for slavery.

Removal of Confederate statues has become a political battle, with many conservatives labeling such efforts as attempts to erase history.

Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

Max

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

Jeff Chevalier

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

Tom

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

Sarah G. Chapman

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

Michele Scarlet Ridenour

We cannot erase our history....this nonsense has to STOP.

Christopher Watson

Cause I don't believe removing History makes anything go away, just cursed to repeat it!

Debra Riffle

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

Belinda Kitchen

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

Darrel Jenkins

You can't erase history, you can only learn from it!!!

Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Thomas OSullivan

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

Eric Smith

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Belinda Kitchen

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

Max DeYoung

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Toasty

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Fat Guy Outdoors

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

Lisha Lammers

No, the Marines should NOT be deployed to States against their own people.

Toasty

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.
