Unlike President Trump, leftist mayors aren’t going to get this crisis go to waste. In Birmingham and Alexandria, Confederate monuments came down.
#BREAKING Crews just removed a controversial confederate statue in #Alexandria Virginia. The Appomattox statue stood there since 1889. Mayor Justin Wilson says the spot may remain empty to improve driver safety. More ahead on @fox5dc #FOX5DC #BreakingNews pic.twitter.com/YTwfo8REXD

Majority-black Birmingham is one of the most dangerous cities in the country and has a poverty rate greater than 27 percent. It doesn’t need a statue. The city is a living monument to the dissident view of race.

The World War II memorial and the Lincoln Memorial were not spared.

New York City was the scene of some of the worst rioting last night. Governor Cuomo said Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD “failed” the city. This isn’t surprising considering that police even arrested the mayor’s daughter.

However, some whites are organizing or fighting back.
This was an entrance to a neighborhood near downtown Bellevue yesterday. Guy on the right with shotgun. Don’t count on Inslee for security. Antifa talking about coming into suburbs and a lot of folks are ready to get ‘residential’ on them. #2A pic.twitter.com/aOHg272BLN

Currently trending on Twitter is a picture comparing Adolf Hitler to Donald Trump because they both held the Bible. Of course, every American president puts his hand on the Bible when he takes the oath, so what political significance this would have is unclear. However, the picture being distributed is fake, and Twitter has not corrected the misinformation.
