Abraham Lincoln Freed the Slaves — Violent Alt-Left Thugs Torch His Chicago Statue Anyway

Make no doubt about it — This is a Marxist revolution in America today.
Fed by media lies, radical community organizers and millions of dumb leftists.

Abraham Lincoln, the FIRST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, liberated the slaves.

On January 1, 1863 Republicans freed the slaves.

Republicans rejoiced. Democrats cursed.
Grand Old Partisan reported:

On New Year’s Day in 1863, the Republican Party’s Emancipation Proclamation came into effect. While Republicans rejoiced, Democrat politicians and newspapers denounced President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) for freeing slaves.

Demonstrating their depravity, New York’s Gov. Horatio Seymour, who would be the 1868 Democrat presidential nominee, denounced the Emancipation Proclamation as “a proposal for the butchery of women and children.” The Louisville Daily Democrat called it “an outrage of all constitutional law, all human justice, all Christian feeling.”

Despite the fact that Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves and hundreds of thousands of American patriots fought a civil war to make all men free — violent leftists in Chicago torched the Abraham Lincoln statue.

The Washington Times reported:

Abraham Lincoln has joined George Washington on the list of those targeted by Chicagoans in a national debate over Civil War-era monuments.

Alderman Raymond Lopez took to Facebook Wednesday night to decry a defaced statue of the nation’s 16th president in the Englewood neighborhood. The giant bust appears to have been damaged after someone in the 15th Ward sprayed and ignited a flammable liquid.

“What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. This bust of Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926, was damaged & burned,” Mr. Lopez wrote, a local NBC affiliate reported. “If anyone has any information regarding this act, please contact the police or my office immediately.”

“F- Abe Lincoln,” responded Quintin Mitchell, whose comment was “liked” or deemed “funny” by 160 others.
