In the above article discusses the vote by the Louisiana House to block removal of New Orleans monuments. As the article says, it is by "largely a party line vote."

The Democrats who voted for this bill need to be voted out of office.

Ed Rogers in the Washington Post may be asking his fellow Republicans to make a clean break with the Confederacy, but it is obvious that the Republican Party is embracing the Confederacy.

One of my upcoming projects is to document Republican Party embrace of the Confederacy.

UPDATE:

An editorial castigating the Republican Party for supporting the Confederate monuments.
