While the Republicans are on their knees begging for enough air to cry for an erasure of the Confederate Flag from various state buildings might I suggest they fight fire with fire.
I know this is a bit much to ask surrender-monkeys but would it do any real harm to ask that just ONE public facility take down a known racist Ku Klux Klan recruiter’s name from its sign or letterhead?
As Republicans are being attacked and linked with an insane murderer through “flag association dynamics” why not respond by starting a Republican Party mission to remove all vestiges of a Democrat Klan members from public view.
