The House Votes to Remove Confederate Statues in the U.S. Capitol.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to remove all Confederate statues from public display in the U.S. Capitol, along with replacing the bust of former Chief Justice of the United States Roger Taney, author of the 1857 Dred Scott decision that declared that people of African descent were not U.S. citizens.
The House passed the measure 285-120. All Democratic members supported the legislation; all 'no' votes came from Republican members.
Let the Senate's "Confederate Caucus" (AKA the Republican Party) filibuster this!
