  1. 0.20 Just looking at her hair makes me think shell get rid of the books and artifacts contained in the time capsule.

  2. robert e lee is related to my classmates moms side

  3. Yeah they were engaged in history but y’all take down the statue of Robert E Lee because of some weak minded liberals, but when there’s treasure to be found they get happy. Screw these people destroying our American history 🖕🖕🖕

  4. Why was Kate Ridgeway involved? She showed no concern & was not professional at all. Made me sick to watch her be so ruff with the artifacts.

  5. So happy Republicans took back that beautiful state.

  6. Happy Robert E. Lee Day! “My heart bleeds at the death of every one of our gallant men.” “I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.” – Robert E. Lee

  7. Wow! It's almost Criminal that they didn't have that time capsule opened by experts in the field instead of this hack job

  8. Liberals destroying history

  9. CHARLTON HESTON SAID IT BEST AT THE END OF " PLANET OF THE APES " ! I AGREE WITH HIM .

  10. How many people got their feelings hurt by it? 😆 🤣

  11. You can feel the wokeness splashing from the screen

  12. Of course masonic….

  13. And on to the next hysteria.

  14. still waiting for the actual findings……..also, this woman was literally just blonde 3 days ago 😯

  15. So they tell us nothing.

  16. Wouldn’t be surprised if they burned the books and everything else they found.

  17. It is all probably racist trash. Throw it all away.

  18. news reporter layin that up north tighty whitey accent on thick!! …thought I was watching a SNL parody for a sec 🤣

  19. Is it asking too much to actually show each item one by one? 🤷🏽

  20. Rest in peace General Lee. Thank you for your service.

  21. The statue was not controversial it had been sitting there since 1887… Trying to destroy the history of America. History is there to learn from not approve of

  22. NBC is a propaganda outlet.

  23. Don't understand all the controversy about removing statues of confederates.America does not have statue's honoring Benedict Arnold.Why confederates?

  24. They should have just chunked the capsule in the scrap heap with the statue,,,, the "woke" destroyed the REL memorial because it was "racist", that makes the capsule "racist".

  25. If you were really engaged in history, you would have left the statue alone, snowflakes.

  26. How to be a loser.

  27. Hmmm shocking I was 99% sure theyd find the bones of one of his slaves in there

  28. This lady’s energy comes off arrogant n egotistical.

  29. Just the worse interview I have ever see !

  30. This lady sucks… "I wasn't surprised of anything. I was more surprised 😯🙀 on the how engaged". "Nothing surprised me". She's in the wrong field, go wait tablets or something more surprising.

  31. Keep the money, burn the rest.

  32. There sure are a lot of sensitive people making comments. Looks like the people on the video didn't them what they wanted to hear.

  33. The black racists and liberal fascist thugs tearing down these monuments are evil, little people with big erasers. They will be forgotten while the names of these great men will live on forever. May their souls be thrown into the bottomless pit to burn for eternity for the desecration, defilement and ruin they practice.

  34. Wouldn't it be funny if the materials are very anti slavery. Almost poetic, ironic.
    Every day you aholes have your strings pulled. And told a truth to believe.

  35. The party that’s erasing history just found some priceless history… well. Let’s see how this goes

  36. I’m surprised the headline didn’t say racist time capsule found.

  37. Why are all news anchors black now? Wake up white people

  38. We should take down all each and every monument from black statues to white and hey why not knock down Washington's monuments it's only fair !
    Or is it just an attack on America's civil war monuments ?
    Yes even the Lincoln monument yup otherwise it a black and white thing and it isn't the black statues falling. Not to mention there were oh to many colored soldiers who fought with Lee not to mention they had black generals . Not to mention something no one wants to admit but the BLACKS sold their own BLACKS in Africa yes anti history buffs or ignorant pukes the blacks sold the blacks to ENGLISH ships so as well they weren't the first it was our Native people like myself and the Mexican that were first to be killed or put to slavery .

  39. THEY FOUND A NEUSE TOO……

  40. Tut Unkamen can have a rest now since they found this garbage.

  41. Can't wait until the George Floyd time capsule is discovered. Which includes fake money, wild Irish Rose and fentanyl.

  42. Now everything is appearing out of nowhere yeah right
