House Republicans want to prevent the Pentagon from removing a Confederate memorial from “America’s most sacred shrine,” Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia led a group of more than 40 GOP colleagues in calling for the Department of Defense to halt the planned removal of the Reconciliation Monument, also known as the Confederate Memorial, “until Congress completes the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 appropriations process.”

In a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the GOP lawmakers said the monument’s removal “does not align with the original intent of Congress.”

    Arlington used to be the plantation of RE Lee and we built a cemetery over it as a fuck you to the Confederates and this is now a fuck you to their kin.

    They should have just grown up but instead they plotted revenge by AGAIN trying to destroy our country.

    They are condemned to being losers forever.

    Good riddance!
