JOE BIDEN/STATUES: “And I see what’s happening, and they’re ripping down things, they have no idea what they’re ripping down but they started off with the Confederate and then they go to Ulysses S. Grant.
Well, what’s that all about? And they would knock down Lincoln. There’s a group that wants to take down Lincoln. They haven’t figured out exactly why yet. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. I’ve stopped them twice now from going over to the Jefferson Memorial. If I weren’t president, they would have knocked down, if a guy like Biden was president, they will knock down the Jefferson Memorial.”
