He was a Democrat!! Why isnt the Dem Party being canceled for its history supporting slavery, Jim Crow and Indian genocides. U can claim the parties switched but what about Clinton turning his back on Rwandan genocide? And racist wars in Libya, Yemen n Syria
Why are Republicans supporting something democrats started?
So you think you have a right to burn people out of their homes and shoot them if their state wanted to secede? Civil Was was an abomination, and a total failure of leadership. Let's drop the propaganda and call it what it was.
RepLamar Glad you are making effort to remove it. But this is our history full of good & bad people recognized at “that” time in the past. Please spend 99% of your time to help your communities on affordable healthcare, affordable higher education & affordable housing at state
Just accidentally turn around and knock it over! Oops my bad
You could crawl on your knees. That worked wonders for KH. As Ol’ Willie Brown. Lol
As a conservative Memphian and natural born Tennessean I demand this removed immediately. Any candidate that doesn't support moving it, that's on my ballot in the future, I will be voting for the opposing party candidate. I thought this was done?
The GOP is a confederate party. Full stop!
And That's why January 6, 2021, will happen again. Symbolism of Governments ( NOT THE UNITED STATES) cannot move beyond their nose of .......
The man's entire life cannot be judged by the sum of his evil deeds. If so we would have to tear down every bust and monument in America which some would like to do. All great men and women are capable of great good and evil. Often guilty of both.
chrislhayes The 1st Grand Wizard of the KKK was dedicated to the proposition of destroying the communities, businesses & families of the newly freed enslaved. They were successful especially after the Fed troops pulled out of the South after Reconstruction. Repubs r defending KKK terrorism
chrislhayes cheer up
Today’s letter, “R”, as in Republican and Racist.
Dude you guys need to take that out of the capital. melt it down and pave a Square for people to walk over in rememberance of the end of era of ternary.
chrislhayes Because they are all members. That’s why.
First stop being a child. Really a statue offends you. Just pathetic. Your party started the kkk. Sounds like you guys regret it. Funny how that works.
Sick
chrislhayes Bcuz the defenders are monsters and not human beings simply put.
Why? Because most Tennessee Republicans are sympathetic to the KKK.
Get rid of it NOW.
The Grand Wizard is actually Trump.
this is terrible news
Some things should be “canceled” and this bust is overdue!
Supremacists sell false hope & brainwash isolated, vulnerable & manipulated people into committing treason & murder. NoOneUnscripted

chrislhayes Hmmm white nationalists racists?
chrislhayes Democrats have defended Byrd for years...
chrislhayes Why Lol. They are the remnants.... the great grand children, grand children, nephews, grand nephews, associates, son-in-laws, etc. of that ideology and culture. They’re clinging onto “the promises of Donald J. Trump” to take their country back, as David Duke proclaimed.
chrislhayes 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 republicans
chrislhayes GFY
chrislhayes This must be a rhetorical question
7thSon11 chrislhayes Republicans make rules and laws then when they don't like the outcome, they want to change the rules and laws. If ya can't cheat, ya can't win.
chrislhayes Just curious how those that identify as black republicans feel about this?
chrislhayes
chrislhayes It's disgusting!
chrislhayes
chrislhayes
chrislhayes He is one of their own. He represents the values of many a Tennessee resident.
chrislhayes They are being themselves....🤷♂️
chrislhayes Because their souls are black!
chrislhayes Answer: TNGOP is KKKlandemic of racist garbage. TBInvestigation is in league with the KKKlan which is why the Nashville Christmas Day bomber was able to plant bombs at the DNC HQ on January 6th.
chrislhayes Because they agree with him. They're white supremacists too, closeted or otherwise.
rolandsmartin chrislhayes The republicans or the party is the new klan
chrislhayes Bigger question is which one isn’t. Those, there’s hope for.
chrislhayes Because they're treasonous racists? Did I get it right? Yessiree.
chrislhayes And why do BLM and Antifa exist today, not due to racism, but rather from the constant bullcrap from the leftist media, leftist politicians and leftist schools making as if minorities are victims today, when instead they have more rights and are better off then ever before today
chrislhayes We know why. Racism
chrislhayes And why are the leftist dem libs constantly harping on the past and constantly playing the race card day and night when there are more rights, opportunities, equality and advantages for minorities then ever before today.
chrislhayes
chrislhayes It’s a good question as not only were his views wrong but republicans seldom defend democrats
chrislhayes Because they're owning it. That's who they are. RACIST.
chrislhayes Because that’s part of their history and they want to continue to be racist...
chrislhayes Is Your Local Church finally open Today ?
chrislhayes Why are people surprised
chrislhayes It's bust that literally cannot cause people harm. There is no need to remove it.
rolandsmartin chrislhayes
chrislhayes Racist America 2021
chrislhayes I hope Supreme Court justice Roberts reads this and realizes the epic mistake the court made when they took out section 5 of the voting rights act. There is a straight line from that decision to voter suppression laws of today. As the article points to, racism is alive&well.
chrislhayes Did they consult their board members for approval ?
Nine words, Mail small cans of paint to your office, splatter.
It’s ridiculous it’s there. Get rid of that shit
Time for a his behavior so to go! What an insult!
How about an image of his face in the urinals instead. Compromise can work.
Republicans don't support the bust because they truly believe Forrest was a good man—they support the bust because they know it appeals to their base who simply enjoys lashing out, offending, and demeaning black folks—the bust is meant as a provocation against black folks.
Had no idea it was so hard to be you
Your friends in Minnesota have a suggestion
First explain to me why people who screw up get rewarded and promoted while the ones that do the job get run off...then explain to me why the good old boys club is going so strong still.
Unfortunately it was the way of the world then ... BUT ITS NOT NOW!!
I have some pretty good arguments that America isn’t racist. Then you see something like this
morgfair Stop White Supremacists from destroying our Progress to be the best America possible🇺🇸
Jeez. So disturbing. The South needs a good vacuuming.
Tennessee lawmakers are ok with honoring the first KKK Grand Wizard because they are racist people. There is no other explanation. He is part of our history, a shameful part. He does not deserve to be honored, he did not push democracy forward or live a selfless life for others.
Plenty of Democrats you mean. The South was Democratic territory until Civil Rights bills of JKF - LBJ
This is one instance of many, in which racists who should have been relegated to the darker side of history are elevated instead.
Yank that scrap metal down.....
morgfair Other than being racist traitors, republicans in Congress are alright.
That’s ugly
Forrest's bust should share a trough with failure golden tRump in the men's room urinal.
WTF?
Because they feel white supremacy is okay with them,, being racist themselves
This bust needs to be put on the museum like the commission determined because his likeness has no place in the capital building that houses the state congress considering what a terrible hateful racist person that headed KKK as grand wizard!
You could gift it to the RNC. Just a thought.
Talk about a kick in the teeth.
GovBillLee Doesn’t it disgust you that this great state pays homage to someone with many who committed murder, massacres of Americans of color bcs they were of color? Aren’t we better than this? Aren’t you a better governor to stand up for all Americans?
Which is more offensive?
Boooo Pull it down! Pull it down!!
Abomination
They're racists who miss the antebellum period
Because it's in Gold, trump's fav color. It also is an idol for the Republicans
Oprah Winfrey says 66% of black man in America are on the down low and engage in Homosexual acts that led to the spike in the spread of the aids virus now the black community led to the spike in the coronavirus .... true facts
Why? Must be a rhetorical question since everyone knows the answer. Even the racists do.
Republicans defend the kkk leader statue because they are not only racist, they want to go back to the days of segregation, no property rights for blacks, and no voting rights for blacks as well.
Has anyone stepped up to give an answer to this question?
Why in gods name would anyone even defend taking down a bust of a former Klans member?
In search of some 'Good Trouble'.
Because they are racists?
Delete history deleted IDi Amin delete canibalizem from history delete history itself neither blk or white or nothing in between would be here .
Why do we continue to honor people who had none when living? Why do we build monuments to traitors and name things after them. Answer is because we are not taught real history but ca glorified version of it.
It's disgraceful and disgusting. It shouldn't be there.
The democrat party supported the klan in the early days.
The easy answer: The GOP loves, embraces and embodies racism. Moving on.
SMDH

The truth about TigrayGenocide must be revealed and it cannot be done by state-sponsored EthioHRC. Tigray deserves justice not ongoing coverups by AbiyAhmedAli & his regime. UNOnlyForTigray TigrayGenocide hickspeggy SecBlinken mbachelet UNOCHA
