Now THAT'S the Democratic viewpoint of free speech in a nutshell--THEIR free speech is being violated.In otherwords,Dems want to be able to do whatever THEY want to do--whenever they want to do it,but if Trump (or whites in general)want to express similar free speech by leaving up the statues--Dems go to court to take OUR free speech away(or just destroy the statue without punishment).Similar with our attempts to building a wall,stopping Mex invaders etc--they go to SF court ASAP. Incredibly egotistical and an infringement of between 30 and 50% of the country's population,who have the right to say,THEY want those Confederate memorials up.
Everyone's right to free speech should be upheld--not just by party.
