Thomas Jefferson statue to be removed from New York City Chambers, commission rules
Mayor's wife said to 'highlight such an individual is not really who we are as a council'


The New York City Public Design Commission voted unanimously to remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States, from the New York City Council's chambers at City Hall.

The commission debated a plan to loan the 187-year-old statue, which has resided inside City Hall since 1833, to the New York Historical Society in order "to protect the artwork and provide opportunities to exhibit it within an educational and historical context." Yet Commission President Signe Nielsen opposed the plan because the society is a private institution that charges a $22 entrance fee. The statue's future remains uncertain.

Yet the commission voted unanimously to remove the author of the Declaration of Independence from its legislative chamber by the end of the year, The New York Post reported.

Many of us said at the time that you can't make the argument for taking down Confederate statues without making the argument for taking down the Founding Fathers.

Guess who was right?

Bama.....I was saying that even BEFORE the Confederate statues started being TORN down. I said that the day Nikki Haley took down the Confederate Flag over the South Carolina capitol to MUCH fanfare and glee of those in attendance. I told my friends, "That will NEVER be enough for them".

I think she did a wonderful job at the UN for President Trump, but I will hold that action against her until the day I perish from this earth. She showed her pure cowardice that day......

They are reving up to delegitimize the constitution and bill of rights. This is the objective. The method is progressivism which is one seemingly benign step at a time into destruction.

Look at the age of the people doing this stuff, and look at the age of the people fighting it. Tell me when we're going to "take America back" when we're essentially dying off, and the education welfare complex is indoctrinating the yougins.

I take it you don’t interact much with 10-25 year olds, especially the kids of immigrants? They are the ones that put up with this bullshit regularly, and have the most to lose. When push comes to shove, they will fight back against this.

Nothing is forever, but the tide will change.

These people are stupid. They have never once cracked open a book or read thousands upon thousands of pages of literature on Jefferson or Washington but they see fit to delete them. Who are they to delete anyone? If I had the power of Google I could prove them to be equally flawed human beings just based off their historical google search history. Those who seek to cancel people whom they don’t understand should be perpetually ridiculed and harassed for their idiotic behavior.

Then the problem is not Jefferson or his statue, but rather, the un-American filth soiling the city council chambers. Pure human garbage from top to bottom running NYC. Stick a fork in that city, its done.

Jefferson being a slave owner is the most obvious and disingenuous reason to remove him.
His advocacy of individual rights and limited government are what they really hate.
Just wait until Jefferson is removed from the twenty dollar bill and a real intellectual hero like George Floyd is put there instead.
And that still won't be enough.

I don’t see how anyone could be surprised about this.

So, how much longer before we start to get a re-design of coins and currency; after all everyone whose portrait is on anyone of those items is a WHITE GUY, with a couple being slave owners or other unacceptable backgrounds. That is, unless the FedTreasury withdraws all such monetary media and forces everyone to use the govt-approved cards so that purchases can be tracked/controlled.

Jefferson is on the TWO dollar bill. Alexander Hamilton is on the TWENTY, but who knows...he may be cancelled next!
