NEWSJUST IN: Democrats Issue Nasty Demand to Military

Figures on the political Left and the media are now calling for the removal of all Confederate monuments.

This is their response to the violence and deaths in Charlottesville, Virginia.

But the demand is not limited to the statues.

Rep. Yvette Clarke, has now announced that she is introducing a bill that would force the Department of Defense to rename military bases and properties named after Confederate generals and soldiers. Clarke asserts her bill would reduce violence and racial strife by removing symbols of “white supremacy” that attracts rioters. According to Clarke, individuals who wish to keep Confederate monuments in place are the ones perpetuating violence.

According to our source, Christian News Alerts, she stated: “The time has come for the Army to remove from Fort Hamilton and other military installations the disgraced names of men who waged war against the United States to preserve the evil institution of slavery.”{

She went on to call Confederate monuments a “pretext” for violence. “As recent events in Charlottesville have made perfectly clear, these monuments are nothing more than symbols of white supremacy and a pretext for the violent imposition of an evil ideology that should never have persisted into the Twenty-First Century.”

Clarke and three other new York Democrats previously petitioned the U.S. army to change the names of two streets on a base in the state of New York. The Army denied the request to rename General Lee Avenue and General Jackson Drive, which run through Fort Hamilton and are not accessible to the public.

“Every Army installation is named for a soldier who holds a place in our military history. Accordingly, these historic names represent individuals, not causes or ideologies. It should be noted that the naming occurred in the spirit of reconciliation, not division,” Major-General Malcolm Frost said.

Among the most notable critics of President Donald Trump in the wake of the Charlottesville incident have been members of his own party. Senator John McCain attacked President Trump for making a “moral equivalency” between the white supremacists and Antifa, whom McCain described as “Americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry.” Antifa has been designated a domestic terror group by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security.
