Republican House Rep Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) just stabbed Trump in the back and sided with Nancy Pelosi in key legislation.
The bill will remove multiple confederate statutes from the capitol. Many other GOP rep crossed party lines to support the bill.
Dan shared an article on social media that detailed why he chose to vote this way. From Justthenews:
“The American people know, these names have to go. These names are white supremacists that said terrible things about our country,” Pelosi said during a press conference on Thursday.
McCarthy, a California Republican, said the statues that concern Pelosi are a problem within her own party.
“They were voted upon in the legislature and brought here under Democrat majorities from Mississippi to the other states that she speaks about,” he said.
The statues that Pelosi wants removed include:
Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America and former Democratic U.S. senator from Mississippi
James Zachariah George, former Democratic U.S. senator from Mississippi and member of the Confederacy as well as the Mississippi Secession Convention
Wade Hampton, lieutenant general for the Confederacy and former Democratic governor of South Carolina
John E. Kenna, member of the Confederate States Army, former Democratic congressman and U.S. senator from West Virginia
Uriah Milton Rose, chairman of the Resolutions Committee of the Arkansas Democratic Party
Edmund Kirby Smith, general for the Confederate States Army with no recorded political party affiliation
