In the era of Trump, white supremacists feel emboldened to champion their causes. White Supremacist Richard Spencer and fellow travelers are resisting an attempt by the city of Charlottesville, Virginia to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from a city park. The torches came out. The white supremacists were comfortable yelling "Russia is our friend."
The Mayor responded to the protest.
“This event involving torches at night in Lee Park was either profoundly ignorant or was designed to instill fear in our minority populations in a way that hearkens back to the days of the KKK,” Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said in a statement.
“Either way, as mayor of this City, I want everyone to know this: we reject this intimidation. We are a Welcoming City, but such intolerance is not welcome here.”
The Charlottesville City Council voted to sell the 93-year-old statue of the Civil War general and to build a new memorial dedicated to slaves, the Daily Progress reported in April. The city also announced plans to rename Lee and Jackson Parks.
A judge thwarted the sale for at least six months by issuing an injunction, stating that the statue is a war memorial.
