Whenever we cats need a political pick-me-up, we look to Virginia to see what's up. The latest is pretty smirk-inducing. Delegate Wendell Walker, a Republican from Lynchburg, has introduced a bill to remove Harry Byrd's statue from Richmond's Capitol Square — just to get back at all those woke people and evil Democrats who want to tear down Confederate monuments.
Byrd, of course, was a leading Democrat and notorious racist who fought bitterly against school integration after Brown v. Board. (It was a different Virginia, and a different party, back then.) He died in 1966. Today, naturally, he'd be a stalwart member of the GOP. Corey Stewart would probably throw him a welcoming party.
But in the spirit of "be careful what you wish for," there are many Democrats in the Virginia legislature who are dying to vote to take Byrd's statue down. Once Walker realized that his little ploy wasn't going to work, he started desperately trying to withdraw the bill. The House Rules Committee will have none of it. "I thought he was serious and had a reason for taking the statue down, and so he put in a bill in good faith," the Democratic majority leader deadpanned.
HAHAHAHAHA on you, Wendell Walker. Byrd was a racist pig whose likeness should be pulled down and pulverized. Tear the sucker down like Saddam Hussein. We cats PURR.
