Democrat Rep Calls for Statue of Liberty Torn Down to Protest GOP's ‘Bigoted' Immigration Law

Big talk from a little man.

[SLAY] A radical Democrat congressman has called for the Statue of Liberty to be torn down in protest of the Republicans’ border security bill.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) is demanding that one of the nation’s greatest monuments be removed to protest the House GOP’s H.R.2, also known as the Secure the Border Act. The comprehensive border security and immigration bill was passed in May last year.
"Demanding" How cute
On Wednesday, Frost told Republicans to pass a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty along with their "bigoted" immigration law. Frost issued the demand during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on immigration.

The bill would restrict the asylum process for people crossing the border and require resumed construction on the border wall.

The freshman congressman was one of many Democrats who attacked the bill. However, Front was widely mocked on social media after he produced a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty for Republicans to also pass.

"My colleagues from the other side of the aisle, let’s be honest with immigrants who deserve better than what you’re offering them," Frost said, holding up the draft.

"Don’t welcome immigrants if you plan to reject them.

"If you keep pushing your bigoted H.R. 2 bill, then also pass this bill.

"I’ve taken the liberty of drafting it for you.

"It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here."

#1 Freshman Dem proposes bill to remove Statue of Liberty in protest of GOP's 'bigoted' immigration law

"A House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on immigration discussed H.R.2, the House GOP’s Secure the Border Act, the comprehensive border security and immigration bill passed back in May. The bill would restrict the asylum process for people crossing the border and require resumed construction on the border wall.

The freshman congressman was one of many Democrats who attacked the bill, though he also produced a mock bill to remove the Statue of Liberty for Republicans to also pass."

#4 Frost is a "democrat rising star." Given how they all seem to implode, whoever is in charge of gathering background for the Florda Pubs should watch him closely.

#5 Besides those old pictures of the statue on an island in NYC harbor shows no global rising of the oceans. Can't have that to undermined the climate game.

#6 I've looked him up in wikipedia (to me, an African American who doesn't understand what latino immigration means for African Americans is a curious thing). Turns out he was raised as an Hispanic.

#10 The statue, a gift from France, should stay, but the plaque mounted inside the pedestal's lower level upon which is cast the poem "The New Colossus" should, for obvious reasons per history linked and below, be removed and melted down, right?

#11 As a caution:
Tokens of history, rendered as 'false' iconography, cause the facts to fade and the truth of the times becomes one of the rendering generations favorite puddings.
