Rep. McCarthy: Only states can remove Confederate statues from U.S. Capitol – By OAN Newsroom (OANN) / June 11 2020
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has stated it’s up to individual states to decide whether or not to keep Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol. On Thursday, the lawmaker pointed out the statues honoring Confederate leaders in Washington are under the jurisdiction of the states that sent them.
This comes amid the latest Democrat push to remove the statues. On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called for 11 statues to be removed from the U.S. Capitol, saying they “pay homage to hate, not heritage.”
