Two Iowa Representatives in Congress vote to keep statues of Confederates in capitol

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two Iowa Representatives in Congress have voted to keep statues of Confederates in the U.S. capitol.

Miller-Meeks is fine with traitors being honored in U.S. Capitol.

The U.S. House of Representative yesterday voted on a bill to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol building. The vote was 285-120. Iowa’s delegation was split 2-2. Randy Feenstra (District 4) and Mariannette Miller-Meeks (District 2) voted to keep the traitorous artwork in the Capitol, while Cindi Axne (District 3) and Ashley Hinson (District 1) voted in favor or removing the sculptures.

The Confederacy ended back in 1865 when the Civil War was won by the Northern states. Despite the defeat, the South was placated and allowed to remain influential in the federal government ever since; their way of life and backward thinking not remedied by the victors. War leaders of the seceding states (traitors to America) were cast as heroic figures, as demonstrated by the erecting of sculptures and war plaques, etc, in many parts of the nation. Society is slowly coming to the conclusion that history should be remembered but traitors to this nation should not be deified.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate.
