Laughable that they would put a statue of a woman there when in D.C. they don't care about women's reproductive rights. America has become the next Taliban. One foot forward 200 yrs back.
Dear lord did they place that statue in the capital rotunda? That’s for heads of state, generals, founding fathers and so on. Not a place for a woman from the 1900’s. Anywhere else would have worked? How about outside near the mall? This was placed there deliberately to try and dress down the men in that room. Our country sucks.
Good looking dude
Hope that statue doesn’t offend anybody. Those Americans like erasing their history.
But but but…she's WHITE!!!!!!
🤍
Where's the statue of Pancho Barnes ?
Say: "No one looks at my religion and researches it, and I do not look at anyone's religion and opinion". Everyone thinks that way about each other. If you want someone else to research your religious opinion, you must also research someone else's religious opinion. You should tell this to everyone. A very effective idea. This is how everyone will find the truth.
Nope, no more statues. She will be recognized as a monster in the future.
They never did find that poor lady.
That Statue Is AMAZING 👏 Man They Made Her Look Awesome
Who’s this dude and why does he get a statue
Was she a thespian? Was her favorite dinosaur the likalotopus?
Why isn’t there a George Floyd statue there? That’s racist!
Another waste of tax dollars..
She was White, and Heterosexual. A racist White privileged homophobe no doubt! She MUST be cancelled! Sincerely…The Woke Left.
I think she was a white Supremasist ! 😂😂😂 better tear it down !
That statue is racist! Teat it down!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Let’s put the same context I know this is a feel-good moment for the Lib Tard’s but she failed never to be heard from again.
Rumor has it that the statue has gone missing…
Amelia is a white lady. Why is the statue dark
