• Kaine's proposed legislation to remove Robert E. Lee’s name from Arlington House comes amid Black History Month. He says the removal reflects our nation’s values.

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va. - The historic Arlington House could become a national historic site and drop "Robert E. Lee" from its name.

What's happening

As it currently stands, it is known as Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial.

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine introduced legislation to redesignate the site. Kaine hopes to change that and restore its original name — Arlington House.

Kaine’s bill would repeal statues that memorialized Lee, including Arlington House. It would also add a formal historic site designation to the name.

That means the site would be named Arlington House National Historic Site.

"The names of our national sites hold significance and should honor individuals whom we can all look up to," Kaine said.

Well, at least it won't happen any time soon but it's just a taste of what dems have in store for us if they ever see total power in DC again.

Hopefully Youngkin will try to unseat Kaine when he comes up for reelection again.

Robert E. Lee lived in that house. I have been inside that home. Never blemish history by removing the owners' names.

Appropriate. The place was stolen to begin with, dead buried in Mrs. Lee’s rose garden, graffiti carved into the home’s walls. Years later a trifling paid for the land to assuage the guilt over the theft. Recently the monument to reconciliation removed. Complete the degradation and strip the family name from Arlington house.
