“Maybe it’s time the Democrats change the name of their party.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) burned Democrats with his words about their own party’s history.
He said, “The bill we’re voting on today, we voted on before and I supported it, I support it now. But let me state a simple fact. All the statues being removed by this bill are statues of Democrats.
“Madam Speaker, as I heard the Madam Speaker talk earlier about removing the four portraits of speakers in the hall, the same answer goes for that as well. They were all Democrats.
“What’s interesting is the statues that need to be removed were sent to the Capitol by states that were majority controlled by Democrats, sent to a House that had a majority controlled by Democrats accepting of these statues.
“I think the bills should go further. Maybe it’s time the Democrats change the name of their party.”
McCarthy’s comments obliterate the progressive narrative of the left. Not only did Republicans agree to remove the statues; Democrats were the ones who brought them.
The same could be said for the recent addition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday. The bill was passed this year, but was introduced in a past session. Who was president when it was introduced? Donald Trump.
The right isn’t out to discriminate. The left just wants to make it look that way.
