It's not only Trump who is bad.<br> It's all of the Americans now for NOT STANDING UP‼️
Jake Tapper! Can you help??<br>Wasn't there a prominent "journalist/tv personality" that wrote a book about President Biden's mental decline, promoted on his tv show AND then went to various right leaning media to promote the book and apologize for not writing it sooner? <br>Who was that guy??? <br>Gosh! It sure seems like President Biden's struggles PALE in comparison, on many levels, to what trump is displaying on a daily basis. I wonder if this same "journalist/tv personality" recognizes this and might use his position to point out these facts and very dangerous developments on his platform. Heck! Maybe even write a book and go on the few left leaning media to apologize for not doing so sooner. <br>Who was that guy??
This is all about exploiting racial tensions and motivating the base for the elections. To this day many southern whites romanticize the Confederacy as a lost cause. Their descendants are the voters he's after. Trump is a supreme bastard.
Hope you people are proud of what the United States is becoming
Don't forget, alot of people voted for this fascist. It goes to show what kind of people we have in this country!
Hegseth is racist!? 😱😱😱 What a surprise 😮🫢 This guy is full of psychological illnesses, and the worst case scenario if he becomes the future president.
FAKE NEWS BY A TDS LIAR !
This action is just one more reason to again question how any person of color would vote for any member of the Republican/MAGA party or hold themselves out as a Republican candidate.🤔
Jake. Where’s your hatchet job book about how bad Trump and his minions who are destroying our country like the one you did on Joe Biden<br><br>You are a hack
I think people from the South have a right to honor their heritage. And I tell you what I’m offended by scenes of homosexuality, I’m offended by abortion and I’m offended by statues of George Floyd. But you people on the left tell me to get over it. So why don’t y’all get over this? Y’all act like y’all are the only ones who have to not be offended by anything. People in this country today act like they were the ones who were the slaves

Yeah those racist accusations are uncalled for 🤡
Just disgusting. Trump and his goons need to go
You shouldn't erase history, you should learn from it,not only that it wasn't about slavery either, white peope did have slaves, so did black people,the confederate war between about the south and north,and the south wasn't trying to take over the government period, while at look at who's telling this story,a democratic woke liberal propagandist, if your in a army for the south, you do what they tell you ,they where good black people,and white people fighting for the south ,and this news person telling you this knows nothing about the south confederate, they wasn't trying to take over the government period
No monuments to Treason should exist outside of a museum. And as far as I am concerned, possession of the flag of Treason should get you prison time.
It never made sense that you are honoring traitors racist or not in the first place. You allowed the losers to put up monuments about a war they lost. What winner of a war lets the losers put their statues up everywhere and names their military bases and schools after them? Your ancestors were more concerned about putting the country back together and singing kumbaya than what it meant it and looked like for your traitors to be able to plaster their names everywhere like war heroes
It was a shameful Democratic party policy. Not a shameful Part of the Rebulican party history. Thanks to Republicans Slavery was needed and taken away from the democratic party
The whole Trump family is a waste of oxygen.
If they would had been treated as the traitors they were we wouldn't be where we are now.
There are two logical reasons in what passes for the brains of the Great Orange Orange One and his Secretary of Beerkegs… first, they’re just playing to the sensibilities of many in the South who still believe all of this about the South and the Civil War (half of my family is from the Deep South so I know this to be the case). The other reason is that they are value signaling to their supporters, that they may need to fight a Civil War on their behalf and they’d be considered heroes if they do…
Over 150 years later and they still refuse to let go and this is why we are where we are now. They called it a noble, patriotic act as they do the storming of the white house.
Yeah that’s all well & good Mr Tapper sir , but what about a book updating the populace on Joe Biden’s advanced cognitive decline ? 😒😒😒 You opportunist scumbag you .
Why do democrats want to erase history?
Just when you think this administration can't sink any lower.....Fing white supremacists.
Those images depict things that actually happened during the war. Why erase that part of history? Why not acknowledge it along with all the rest.
This monument is a history of what some deluded people believed in 1914. How and why and who paid for it should be part of the description. Evidence that American History is not always written by the Victors, and mythology affects beliefs even in our own day.
“Loser restores memorial statue of losers”
They like traitors and racists as role models
I am of southern heritage. Nothing shameful about us standing up against invaders.
Oh no ! Well hopefully the next administration will take it down.
Of course the treasonous man in the oval wants other treasonous acts and events memorialized.
Yea, and also removing artifacts from the African American museum because it was hurtful to white people
Anything to distract from the disastrous Trump Epstein Distraction War.
Whenever people argue that the Civil War was about "states rights" remind them that the confederate constitution made it illegal to ban slavery. Whatever else the traitors claimed to be fighting for, their "right" to own other human beings was so important to them that it was in their constitution.
Blacks for Trump.
Funny the government likes to forget the north had slaves as well and it wasn’t a problem until the south wanted to break away then the north wanted to stop them before more states left the union. It was never about slavery 😂😂 Also why did the government allow Jim crow laws in the 50s if they cared so much about them? Lmao northern bootlicking hypocrites.
trump and all republicans are racist trash.
PATHETIC DISGUSTING RACIST LEADING THE CULT...ENJOY RONALD MCDUMPS NAZI AMERICA<br>YOU WERE WARNED...in writing<br>Plan 1825
Honour what, sir?
The Republican party was formed in Wisconsin to Free the Slaves, y'all been voting for the Wrong party for 200 years 😮
So finally its out in the open, Trump got into power on the back of two costituencies ; Christianity and the embedded remnants of the traitorous Confederacy
Prior to the Civil War, the Democratic and Republican parties had very different platforms, geographic bases, and political identities compared to today. <br><b>The Democratic Party</b> Stance on Slavery: Dominated heavily by the South, the party increasingly defended slavery and its expansion into new territories. By 1860, the party fractured completely along regional lines over the issue. Northern Democrats favored "popular sovereignty" (letting local settlers vote on slavery), while Southern Democrats demanded federal protections for slavery everywhere.<br><b>The Republican Party</b> Stance on Slavery: Strictly anti-slavery expansion. When Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican president in 1860 on a platform opposing slavery in the territories, it triggered the secession of Southern states and the start of the Civil War
Leave American history alone. Black people are still a nuisance. And Mexicans run amuck. America is done. Soon we'll have a towel head President.
People are really surprised Trump wants to do this? Im not.
I'm not a supporter of the confederacy. Had i been alive I would have fought for the union and the end of slavery. That said, the confederate army was not treasonous. They announced that they were leaving the union, they did leave, then the union refused to stop occupying Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. So, the confederacy fought to remove them. The confederacy was no longer part of the US so treason was impossible.
Trump knows his base and what got him elected and it's pretty obvious for all to see.
You cannot have an honest discussion of the Confederacy without talking about slavery. The letters of secession made it very clear that chattel slavery, specifically based on race, was a key factor in leaving the union.
REPUBLICANS R AWFUL and INSANE! 😢
You were warned what this guy is.
Hey Jake! Since you were so happy to go after Biden, where's your book that goes after your boy trump? You helped usher in a 2nd trump term, so you played an outsized role in making this happen 😤
So how is reinstating a monument "rewriting history"? These TDS people literally just parrot phrases over and over like a doll with a pull string.
How many years during slavery did the American Flag preside compared to the Confederate Flag?
You anti American piece of shit you need to be deported its history as Proud American I own it stop hiding behind your lies.
A way less important side bar, but …white men continuing to use “woke” incorrectly… 🙄 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23staywoke">#StayWoke</a>
Why don't YOU rewrite everything Jake? I ONCE to respected YOU as a real journalist. I laughed at your banter on Colbert’s show, I read your books—but after your book on Biden WTF? And you lob softballs at Donald Dump. You once HAD my respect. But no more. You're no better than Chris Cuomo. Pandering to the Ellisons who MAY purchase CNN. Shoo! Go away!
Yeah they are obsessed with the WT supremacist
Of course they wish they lived during that time. They wish they could bring back slavery.
We are all goy
This is stupid. We need more rim job educaiton in high school. Kids don't even know how to do things anymore.
"Republicans freed the slaves" they brag, "we dont believe in erasing history" they claim. Meanwhile, any and all forms of recognition towards abolitionists, slaves, civil rights leaders, and minority contributors is declared "Anti-american" and must be destroyed, in contrast to slave owners/traders, confederates, klansmen, and even nazis, who are encouraged to be given proper consideration under the current admin<br><br>I do believe we can have reminders of our past mistakes and recognize the dangers of complicity with it, but thats exactly what all the acknowledgements about the statue did, the ones they stripped, leaving not even complicity, but the idolization of our most dangerous systems
wasting time and money
Stay calm and VOTE.
Long live the Confederacy <br><br>The Union exacted mass genocide of the Indian Tribes from coast to coast.<br><br>Then, drenched in an ocean of blood, made war against the Confederacy.
It needs to be taken down again and then pulverized into dust or melted down so it can never again be used for anything but landfill or scrap.
Shameful? Are you ashamed yet for that horrid book you wrote about a good decent man?
You mean the Reconciliation Memorial? That is what you call "Confederate?"
Hey, you're not a very intelligent individual, are you... In fact you are the one whitewashing history, and trying to hide history
Tell the truth❤❤❤
Maybe you should write a book about Trump's dementia!!! You did it for Joe who wasn't even this bad.
Hey dumb dumb. Just because history is bad does that mean you erase it. Most people would argue with the holocaust was horrible. However, the only ones trying to erase it are Nazis and their supporters.
You're trying to explain why a pedophile criminal president who started a coup d'etat on January 6th is celebrating other people who decided to secede and were traitors to the American government and the Constitution what else can you expect from a bunch of racists
You held back news just to sell a book. Blocked.
Any reports on Trumps Dementia ?
Where's your outrage about trump like you had about biden's health?...
The depictions on the side aren't watered down.... that shit happened. You even had slaves volunteer to fight for the. Confederacy.
Jake, I hold you partly responsible for this wad getting back into office. You get side-eye still.
Funny how the confederacy is remembered that way but when Islamic terrorists do something it's just a few bad actors and we shouldn't condemn all Muslims.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Erasing history inconvenient to white people, is one of Trump's motivating forces. Just ask the national parks, or the Smithsonian.
Zionist pretending to care what another fascist is doing. Doesn’t he have another book to peddle?
It’s Not “Rewriting History” To Acknowledge Our History, What You Want To Do Is To Actually Rewrite History By Deleting It.
When is someone going to sh00t taco/nacho?
I hate to let you know. There are a lot of people who think slavery was good and they would like it to start again 😢
It is offensive. And it should be offensive. But how does hiding this offensive history help us to grow as a nation? Are we all not mature enough to look at this statue and reflect on our history, the pros and the cons, and to learn and grow from that? Instead the left treats us all like children who must be saved from ourselves; shielded and protected from anything offensive. No one can learn and move forward, grow and mature in our understanding of history, if the left keeps trying to hide everything it dislikes about it. <br><br>To go further, the left also wants to replace history with their own narrative of what happened. With their black and white thinking of history and their own ideas of who the villains and the heroes are. How about some self reflection on that? If the left is allowed to keep hiding the parts of history it dislikes then changing the historical narrative becomes much easier. <br><br>I do not choose to let politics tell me what to think. So i do not care that they are putting this statue back up, it’s an ugly part of history that should not be hidden. And there are far more important things happening in the world that need our attention.
47 knows all about treason.
You can't erase history by removing a statue like that and you're full of s*** for even defending it
If they put it up, vandalize it destroy it and cost them so much money to have to replace it that they give up
trying to be creative because he is not known for having a creative bone in his body. Trying to think outside the box and see what turns up.
Racist traitors. Yep, Pete and Donald 100%.
President felon and his 5th grade vocabulary doesn't know history 🤡😂
Just remove him from office he is a dictator and evil person for America
You are really a horrific reporter, Jake, distorting facts snidely with obvious bias and derision. Your verbal antics and words of fake outrage show that you lack any appreciation of what history is, much less US history. The civil war period was not "shameful." It is what it was, an important, significant (yes, historic) part of the formation and organization of the US (ie, who we are). Hey, here's an idea: Why don't you report on the real, extreme atrocities Israel is committing in Palestine against the resident populations of Arabs, Muslims, and Christians? Tell the American people about these facts, without bias of course. Why don't you speak about that? Oh, yes, I know why....
explain why it wasn’t removed during Roosevelt’s administration. blacks and some white people don’t like abraham lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E Lee. George Washington’s great nephew fought for the Confederate States of America. Monument is not offensive and never was.
Statues should have never been removed they are history and to have them removed somebody need to go to prison for that
Utterly shameful behaviour by any administration
Which declared war existed in which the Confederacy could be accused of Treason as per the Constitution? I only ask because I'm naive enough to believe that words, ideas, and legal concepts actually mean something and that nothing is gained from inexactitude and dishonesty, whether it comes from Donald J. Trump or Jake Tapper.
I’ve read the slave narratives, which are accounts of the actual experiences of enslaved people. They should be required reading for every high school student in America. Once you read them, you’ll be unable to make the argument that slaves loved their lives on the plantation because it makes crystal clear the amount of brutality and violence it took to maintain slavery.
Is it really shocking when pegseth started forcing black people to shave even when they have medically diagnosed folliculitis. He loves to torment anyone who isn’t like him a “strong white man”.
Good its history
For everyone that isnt aware. The Civil War is American history. The same as WWI and II etc. If the Confederacy was a horrific as the 'GOVERNMENT ' claims then why return the states to the union? Why recognize tax dollars sent to the government from Confederate states? Why not just split the union if the south is so bad?<br>For those that understand, these a rhetorical questions.
