In Honor of the Klancestors and to Celebrate FreeDumb Trump Resurrects a 30 Foot Statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike, alleged Founding Member of the KKK

A statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike that was torn down and torched by protesters in 2020 was restored to its original location in downtown Washington over the weekend by the National Park Service.

The Park Service announced in August its plan to return the refurbished statue of Pike, a Confederate Army brigadier general, to a small federal park at Third and D streets NW in the shadow of D.C. police headquarters. The move “aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation’s capital and reinstate preexisting statues,” an NPS spokesman said at the time.

This spring, President Donald Trump ordered the creation of the “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force,” which included ordering the “restoration of Federal public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties that have been damaged or defaced, or inappropriately removed or changed, in recent years.” [MORE]
