Mitch McConnell: We Should Consider Removing Jefferson Davis Statue

‘I think it’s appropriate certainly in Kentucky to be talking about the appropriateness of continuing to have Jefferson Davis’ statue in a very prominent place in our state capitol’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

MITCH MCCONNELL: "We have have statue of Jefferson Davis in the capitol in frankfort. Davis' sole connection to Kentucky was he was born there. He subsequently moved to Mississippi and Kentucky did not secede from the union. So I think it's appropriate certainly in Kentucky to be talking about the appropriateness of continuing to have Jefferson Davis' statue in a very prominent place in our state capitol."
