EXCERPT:
JONES: “Listen, listen, I know Dr. King went down in history, but this is not how you treat him. And let me tell you something, even though I’m about to go straight hard on this statue, I gotta talk to the white people for a second. White people, you don’t need to be saying sh*t about this statue. You understand? Black hands only. You need to sit your ass in the back of the bus for this one, okay? You need to honor this statue. That is a Civil Rights icon -- (Applause) -- going down on his wife. You show some damn respect! (Cheering and Applause) Okay, black people, what the (bleep) are we going to do? We gotta talk about this, we gotta talk about this, because you know it’s messed up when black people and the Proud Boys hate the same statue.”
