Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?
That question used to be part of an old joke. But the answer might soon be “no one” if certain New York politicians get their way.
New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio has called for a review of the historic relevance of public monuments in the city. City Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito has said she wants Grant’s Tomb to be on the review list. It seems that during the Civil War, Grant issued an order expelling Jews from Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi in an effort to crack down on black-market trading.
Christopher Columbus is on the list as well, of course, and Columbus Circle and its giant statue of the explorer are under review as well.
All of this is part of that national effort by the left to cleanse history of historical figures with checkered pasts.
That effort has been in the news ever since that fight in Charlottesville, Va., over the proposed removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

This is all bullshit just a way to blame Trump for the KKK the KKK is been in business for hundreds of years no one’s gonna stop them They have their right for the unbelief I’m not saying it’s right or wrong but it’s there right
KKK , Racism, Slavery, etc…. these are the legacy of the DEMOCRAT Party (the Republican Party was BORN to oppose and overturn slavery btw).
.
That the Democrats have positioned themselves as the “anti-slavery, anti-racism, anti-KKK, anti-White Supremacy” party has to be the biggest political coup in the history of the world.
