"A Tennessee panel has moved forward on a final vote to remove the Nathan Bedford Forrest from the Tennessee Capitol. The bust of the Confederate general and KKK Grand Wizard still sat in the Capitol, months after a vote to remove it and two other statues. Thursday's vote from the State Building Commission was the final step needed for removal and work is now underway. While Gov. Lee and others voted yes, Lt. Gov Randy McNally and House Speaker Cameron Sexton voted no.
The 120-day waiting period to remove the bust expired on July 9 – nearly two weeks ago. The Capitol and Historical commissions voted months ago to approve the bust relocation. Social activist Justin Jones said Gov. Lee's support of the bust relocation was because of public pressure and says it's time the state moves from focusing on statues to focusing on statutes."
Lt. Gov. Randy McNally was right on point when he said "Without historical context, we would have no Tennessee heroes, only villains." The woke-mob-cancel culture-BLM-critical race theory-LGBTQ mafia is trying to erase all of the Tennessee heroes.....
He is right, how can Tennessee have any heroes if we start drawing the line at excluding Confederate generals who fought against the very idea of America while murdering black folks as the founder of the KKK in your spare time.....Apparently Sgt. Alvin York doesn't fit the hero label for folks like McNally for some reason....or even Audie Murphy....and heaven forbid we think of the great Mark McCann as a Tennessee hero....apparently not being the founder of the KKK and a Confederate general is the only way to be a hero if you are a reactionary right-wing cuck like McNally.
