I think there’s a distinction between some of these monuments with those of Confederate heroes and one worth clarifying and discussing.

No. He would not denounce white supremacy. However, he would denounce all the stupid fucking statues of himself all over the place:

But you know what’s really interesting and really incredible irony here is the same people that are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up. These two flags represent the exact same thing.

“Low minimum pay laws are a subsidy for employers”
How many times do I have to yell this at someone?
