Pence: I Believe in ‘More Monuments Not Less Monuments’

‘I agree with the president that seeing people destroy public property in the name of any cause is just simply unacceptable’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "I’m someone who believes in more monuments, not less monuments. What we ought to do is we ought to remember our history. We also ought to celebrate the progress that we have made since that history. You know, when I walked back in 2010 across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with John Lewis arm in arm and we remembered Bloody Sunday and extraordinary progress of the Civil Rights movement, I can’t help but think that rather than pulling down monuments as some are want to do, rather than tearing down monuments that have graced our cities all across this country for years, we ought to be building more monuments. We ought to be celebrating the men and women who have helped our nation move toward a more perfect union and tell the whole story of America."
