Tim Kaine Suggests Pocahontas Should Replace Robert E. Lee in Statuary Hall in Congress

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "In the capital, Joe, you know, that every state gets two statues in the Statuary hall. And you get to pick two people to represent the entire scope of your state. Virginia has George Washington. That’s an obvious one. But since 1909, number two is Robert E. Lee. Now, look, I think a state with Pocahontas, a state with Doug Wilder, the grandson of a slave, Koran War and combat veteran, first elected African- American governor -- in 2017, is it really Robert E. Lee that we would say is the person we want to stand for who Virginia is? I’m not sure it is. I’m not sure it is. I’m not sure it is."
