Mediaite: “House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he supports legislation to remove Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol, saying they’re “statues of Democrats.”
“Let me state a simple fact,” McCarthy said. “All the statues being removed by this bill are statues of Democrats.”
He even said “the bill should go further” and suggested, “Maybe it’s time the Democrats change the name of their party. They may be desperate to pretend their party has progressed from their days of supporting slavery, pushing Jim Crow laws, or supporting the KKK.””
