Pelosi orders removal of portraits of four former Confederates who were House Speakers

Nancy Pelosi announces the portraits of Confederates to be removed from the Capitol building.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Red-robed Grand Cyclops’ across America are likely to be infuriated after Nancy Pelosi today ordered the removal of portraits from the Capitol of four former Confederates who were House Speakers.

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi on Thursday announced she had send a letter to the Clerk of the House to remove portraits of four former House Speakers, who’d served in the Confederacy. The traitors include:

– Robert Hunter of Virginia (1839- 1841)
– Howell Cobb of Georgia (1849-1851)
– James Orr of South Carolina (1857-1859)
– Charles Crisp of Georgia (1891-1895)

“There is no room in the hallowed halls of Congress or in any place of honor for memorializing men who embody the violent bigotry and grotesque racism of the Confederacy,” Pelosi proclaimed.

The portraits should be removed by June 19, 2020, or “Juneteenth” – the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
