Good point - though it was not a lie.  And to be fair, he did not overtly support the statue with his comment, I was reading into it.  I can see why these statues need to come down though - even though many on these boards cannot.  The are hoisted up by the KKK, White Supremacists, and Neo-Nazis as heroes - thus their protests.  I happen to abhor this and agree that the statues should come down.  I was reading his support for charging the woman for vandalizing the statue for supporting NOT removing the statue.  I likely did not make that large of a leap, however.  Hopefully the original poster can correct me if I am wrong.
