A statue of the Confederate general Albert Pike that was pulled down and set ablaze in Washington, D.C. in June 2020 during the Black Lives Matter movement has been renovated and reinstalled in Judiciary Square. The reinstallation on Saturday was a follow-through of an earlier National Park Service announcement that the federal government intended to restore the statue, which it says had been damaged in "riots."

The monument to Pike was first erected in 1901, but has long been a contentious issue within the nation's capital.

The Pike statue is the only monument within Washington, D.C. to honor a Confederate general

So glad we are honoring the losers of the war that we defeated them.

Pike was a traitor to the United States.  Fitting that Trump honors him.

And that MO amplifies, as he is also a traitor.

Those two are far, far behind enhancing personal wealth.  Culture wars and trolling just help them get there.

Traitor and misappropriation of funds, surprised Trump hasn't put him on the dollar bill!

Trump has his poster over his bed.
