 The left has dedicated great time and effort to remove statues and historical symbols from various positions across the U.S. And now this. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's office announced the statue of George Washington that currently sits in the hallway outside his office at City Hall will be removed. The office maintains this removal is not due to our first president being a slave owner or any of the typical woke reasons, but rather just to freshen up and update the space. They can say whatever they want.
