George Washington, Other Patriots About to Get Canceled in NYC

• https://pjmedia.com, BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR.

A statue of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was already sent to the cornfield by rabid NYC Marxists because he owned slaves.

There are more than half a dozen statues of the Revolutionary War hero and first president of the U.S. scattered around New York City. Other notable Washington mentions in New York City include:

The George Washington Bridge which connects New Jersey to…

Washington Heights, a neighborhood on the north end of Manhattan

Several streets and avenues named Washington

At least two parks

A bus station

Fort George Hill Tunnel (also known as the Fort Washington Tunnel)

The apparatchiks previously removed a statue of J. Marion Sims, a 19th-century doctor, considered the "father of modern gynecology," for performing experimental surgeries on sick slave women.

Why the sudden push to remove statues and paintings of people instrumental to our nation's founding?

Early New York governor and slaveowner Peter Stuyvesant is on the chopping block, as is Christopher Columbus, yet again.

Joann Ariola, a New York City Councilwoman (R-Queens) has had enough of the bolshie bullsh*t and is speaking out.

This is little more than an attempt by the radical left to rewrite our nation's history. These men all had an enormous impact on this country, and these statues commemorating their achievements have been in place for decades. The radical left has been trying to reframe our nation as one born from evil, and it is time we put our foot down and say enough is enough. The Founding Fathers and the others who worked so hard to establish this great country should be celebrated, not eliminated from memory.
