Lexington's first gay mayor who has big time political ambitions thinks now is a good time to strike!
This is a perfect example of politicizing Charlottesville. We have been re-modeling the Historic Court District anyways. Been going on for over a year. The statues he now wants to remove more immediately because he can get a write up in the Amazon Post and interviewed on CNN.
One is of John C. Breckinridge, a former U.S. vice president whose has a county named after him. It's so ironic. Lexington was built on the slave trade and the use of slave labor in tobacco fields and horse farms. All those blue-bloods still live here and still run the city.
I have lived here for over a decade now and without doubt, this is the least "racially tense" city I have ever been in. I only hope that continues after the Liberals get done making hay.
Lexington, Ky., Mayor Jim Gray doesn’t have to watch footage of the violent protests in Charlottesville over the weekend to know how divisive Confederate monuments can be.
