New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the attacks on monuments “healthy expression” and “good statements.” In an appearance Tuesday on NBC, he denied President Trump’s admonition that, in the words of interviewer Savannah Guthrie, “cities should do more to protect monuments.” Instead, Mr. Cuomo characterized the attacks—which have targeted monuments to Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and World War II veterans among others—as anti-racist statements. “People are making a statement about equality, about community, to be against racism, against slavery, I think those are good statements,” the Democratic governor said. While he acknowledged that “of course you can” overdo such statements,

I wonder how he would feel if the bridge formerly know as the Tappan Zee that he named after his father Mario the Pious were destroyed? Would that be an act of healthy expression? Why don't you atone for the thousands of dead nursing home patients on your watch and take that dolt brother of yours and GFYS

Not only is nothing done, in most cases, to the perpetrators, but the citizens have to pay to clean up the mess.

Burning down your house would be "a healthy expression" too then, and hopefully that is coming soon.
Sadly, until this evil and insanity directly hits these despot Demon-Rat "leaders", they will never "get it"!!!!

Next time I am in Manhattan (appropriated name), I want to take some rope and pull down Cleopatra's needle - the Facist that enslaved hundreds of thousands of people, and from a country that enslaved Israelites. Central Park has to be FULL of Statutes & monuments all sorts of tyrants, slavers and facists.... Need to figure out where to buy spray paint in mid-town too, somewhere close to the University Club.

But if I were to deface a BLM mural I would be charged with a hate crime, no doubt.
Nah, no double standard here.....

This is how Nazi's killed all of the Jews. First they came for this. Then they came for that. It's all fine and "healthy" until they come for you. I'm starting to think that the old saying, "those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is not exactly true. History repeats itself is more accurate. No matter what you do, history repeats. Even if you learn from history, there are people who will just try and erase it. History repeats. We are witnesses.

Monuments are not Cuomo's property. He can't approve of their destruction. He should be charged with the crime of aiding and abetting destruction of public property. Also, giving aid and comfort to terrorists!

RE#8. Cleopatra's Needle predates Cleopatra by about 1000 years. Other than that, everything else is correct.

He needs to be held professionally liable for this comment. He has just declared open season on all monuments in NY State. Those are PUBLIC property, not property belonging to the corrupt Cuomo family. And removal or razing of those monuments will require legislative approval. What an evil dunce this moron is.

In Madison Wisconsin the fascist thugs tore down a statue of Christian Heg. Heg immigrated here from Norway in 1840 and joined the Abolitionist Movement. He ran for office and rose through the political ranks. He commanded a militia called (wait for it) the "Wide Awakes." The militia's purpose: thwart slave catchers. He was appointed a colonel in the Union Army and won many significant battles against the Confederate. He gave his life for the anti-slavery cause at the Battle of Chicamauga.
You may be thinking the fascists wouldn't have torn down his statue if they knew any of the above, but you'd be wrong. A slavery-hating white guy is exactly the kind of thing these thugs have to extirpate from America's consciousness. Their core message is that ALL white folks are irredeemably racist. That's why they are tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator. We must admit our unforgivably vile nature and kneel in abject humiliation at their feet.

Get together a team to pull down his home. Would that be a 'healthy expression'?

Hey Andy brace yourself for this:
Vandalism is a crime not healthy expression, nor protected expression.
Displaying nooses and swastikas are constitutionally protected forms of expression.

Cuomo is echoing the Democrat mantra. Your property belongs to everyone, and everyone can do what they want to your property. And the Democrat Party is more than happy to enforce that belief, and they have Antifa has their enforcement wing.

Having noticed the Italians allowing various statues of Columbus get destroyed, and now this from Fredo's brother,,,,,...... is it time to start checking their migration papers or something?
Let's just say "not my idea of real Italians".

How about the protesters torch the Gov's mansion? After all, Theodore Roosevelt lived there when he was governor of NY. That would be a “healthy expression” and “good statement".

Ah! Feckless Andy, killer of the elderly and who identifies as an Italian-American, thus says it's OK to tear down statues of Italian hero Christopher Columbus, who Rightthink says is an evil cultural imperialist and exploiter of natives. Also by his logic, New York state and NYC must also be renamed, as they honor the name of one of the largest slave traders of them all.
