House votes to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol and replace a bust of the justice who wrote the Dred Scott decision. The legislation now heads to the Senate.

The House passed a resolution Tuesday to expel Confederate statues from the US Capitol and replace its bust of Roger B. Taney, the chief justice who wrote the Dred Scott decision, with one honoring Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court justice.

The vote was 285 to 120. Sixty-seven Republicans voted with 218 Democrats in support of the bill.The House passed a similar resolution last year on a bipartisan basis but it stalled after Republicans in the Senate argued that the states should decide which statues they'd like to display in the Capitol. The legislation has a better chance to pass now that Democrats hold the Senate majority.

HOW STUPID.... Im OFFENDED THAT THEY ARE OFFENDED...

Happy fathers day to hundreds of thousands of men, used for breeding WITHOUT CONSENT, force to father, forced to be non custodial fathers with no parental rights, & force to pay support or go to jail-the real maidens' tale & liberal women's feminist legacy of sexist abuse of men

Is this all they have to worry about

Oh we’re going to pretend America isn’t really America. OK. Probably haven’t taught American History since they don’t care for it. Let’s make believe. Now that’s not really stupid !

How about removing all democratic ones

The situation of forcibly taking away the house of the citizen in Turkey is the biggest bullying to be done to the citizen in this pandemic. Where are human rights? Güngören Municipality is pushing the limits in bullying.

Good. He looks haunted anyway.

Im Just Here For The Comments!!!!!

Brown shirts erasing history ? Careful what you say,careful what you do,your electronics hacked,someone is listening,cameras everywhere. Where is Orwell when you need him?

It's the Confederate's last drive to take Tennessee Available on Amazon. It's the Confederate's last drive to take Tennessee

If it wasn't tragic it is definitely laughable. If they are in nobody's way on a daily basis then why remove it. Also please remove the white house, Washington state park, statute of liberty, all military bases, capitol hill ect and rename Los Angeles.

Nice waste of time an money...

Yeah and those against should come collect the statues and open museum in their houses. Real history should be taught. Criminals should be called as ones

Why don't we take Lincoln, Washington and all our founders down and replace with George Floyd. Then Democrats can kiss BLM aas every day and finalize the destruction of USA.

What F ing BS

I have some questions. Why are there Confederate statues in the Capitol in the first place? How was that ever a good idea? They were the enemy.

Way to write a slam article that fails to mention their great contributions to the early US BEFORE secession and the Confederacy was even a thought. Erasing a VP, Chief Justice, and more for revisionist history. What a joke.

What’s next?!!!! Not even going to go there. Not worth it.

Here we go. White folks telling blacks, what should and shouldn't not offend them.

Is this true cnn?

NoelinSD This doesn't need a vote ... just one clumsy patriot just walking by. I'll do it.

Washington or Jefferson had slaves, a common practice of those days, will their images be removed from bills or monuments?

Is this really important? How about health care for everyone in America and reasonable prices for prescriptions?

That’s bull crap leave the statues! Who are they hurting it’s part of the AMERICAN HISTORY stop trying to erase HISTORY!!! It happened get over it. Want to fight ads instead slavery? Help stop human trafficking! Leave the south alone.

Erase all history and start anew pretending we’re all trans

Utter stupidity. ….how excited are archeologist and historians & people of general interest when they unearth/uncover history. Yet you want to tear it down & burry it. Shame on you! Put up plaques or varying statues to reflect modern era & views. Who mandated this act?!

Next the Socialist/communist in congress will have a Karl Marx bust in the Rotunda. Vote them out!!

With all that is happening in our country this is the shit they spend time on?

Democrats all

Have you bastards asked the people that you represent whether we want to do that or not

...and replace them with George Floyd or another criminal who got shot by anybody other than another black...

Late to the game here. Why are sedionists enshrined in our Capitol? If we're going to waste marble, shouldn't it be on dead conservative Supreme Court justices? 'Here's Justice Taney. He voted that the Constitution didn't apply to blacks.'

Removing our history not a good idea

Where it will NOT pass!!! 🤮

Get rid of the traitors. They should not take up space in the Capitol, those anarchists.

If that offend someone then remove that of drug king George Floyd and Obama

VP Harris was BRUTALLY AFRAID TO GO TO THE epicenter of the invasion illegally through the southern border AFRAID she would be attacked and was shivering with fear at the thought of being caught in the middle of a migration surge she could not control

Don’t be late to start your crypto currency adventure. I know a passive way to earn money from the comfort of your home, l literally make money while I sleep. It has been a great experience for me since I met Deborah5070

Screw this woke shit

Because if you can’t get healthcare or infrastructure done, why not focus on fucking statuary? What is wrong with everybody?

Don't care. This is easy. They can't do anything hard.

I saw a comment considering Maria on how she helps people invest and earn them Money through forex, I gave it a try and earned more than I expected within days thanks mariadbates2

Will this keep blacks makes from slaughtering each other in Chicago or 90% of black females from having fatherless, welfare dependent, uneducated children?

I'm glad that they're coming for Roger Taney at the same time as the Confederates. Andrew Jackson next, please.

Now get rid of the racist sexist US Constitution.

Abe let too many of them live.

That George Floyd statue could replace a few of these.

The CSA Republicans in the Senate will block it

So if all the statues get removed will that stop all the crying? Oh wait, we have to change Disney, old movies, songs, Oscars, Grammies, tv, and of course whatever the fake outrage of the day is.

Five bucks says that all y'all didn't even know they were displayed at the Capitol to begin with.

How the fuck were confederate traitors in our house anyway?

What’s next… remove statues of all US presidents who owned slaves? Washington. Jefferson. Curious if those who support this also routinely boycott everything made by Hollywood celebs involved in scandal? How about sports players arrested for assault that get a slap on the wrist?

White washed American history created racism. If lazy people would research they would know African empires right before AZTECS THEN EGYPTIANS THEN ROMANS DURING ASIAN DYNASTIES ALL HAD SLAVES. PART OF LIFE IN THE PAST. AFTER CIVILWAR, SOUTH WANTED WHITE RULE NOW DEBUNKED..

US House votes to ease entry process for Afghan interpretersThe U.S. House of Representatives easily passed legislation Tuesday that would make it easier for Afghans who worked for the American military or NATO to relocate to the U.S. Under the bill, former interpreters, drivers and others who supported the war effort would no longer be required to get a medical examination in Afghanistan as part of the application process for the special immigrant visa. Critics says that's an unnecessary hurdle during the COVID-19 outbreak and in an already arduous process, made more urgent with the looming withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops from the country and the danger faced by those who helped fight the Taliban.
