Pelosi, Biden say there is a difference between removing Confederate leaders, past presidents

Good, Democratic leaders needed to weigh in on this to set reasonable boundaries within public discourse now that the conversation has finally shifted in our favor on this issue. A segment on the left has declared open season on all historical figures and it’s been getting out of hand, completely losing the thrust of the original message over problematic veneration of Confederate figures.

What to do with John Tyler then?

I have an idea of where Pelosi would go with him, considering she took down portraits of Speakers of the House who had any connection to the Confederacy, even those who were not mainly known for their Confederate connection.

This on the other hand, is the part where Democratic leadership still needs to iron out its position more intelligently. The Confederate monuments need to come down because they glorify a monstrous cause, but the removal of the portraits of four speakers that at some point served in the Confederate government (three after their speakership and one before) was unnecessary. Their portraits are standard institutional commemorations for their time served as House speaker, not Confederate memorabilia.

To be honest, I'm surprised that the fact that Muhammad's likeness displayed in an official U.S. government building isn't a bigger topic of conversation in the Muslim community.
