A South Carolina Republican running for Congress is calling for the removal of a memorial to African American slaves if a Confederate monument is lifted from statehouse grounds, the Guardian reported.
Sheri Few, who is running for South Carolina’s fifth congressional district, is pinning her campaign on the preservation of Confederate symbolism.
A new campaign advertisement features Few wielding a semi-automatic rifle, while criticizing “weak politicians” in front of an American flag.
The video follows another advertisement from Few, in which she criticizes Republican opponents Tommy Pope and Ralph Norman for voting to remove a Confederate flag from South Carolina statehouse grounds following the murder of nine black parishioners in 2015.
“So then there’s this huge monument to African Americans that is still on the statehouse grounds,” Few said, the Guardian reported.
“And, you know, why hasn’t anyone called for the removal of that?”
Few told the Guardian that if elected, she will focus on “fighting the destruction of every bit of Confederate memorabilia in our country.”
The house has no plans to remove a Confederate monument from its grounds, but Few fears it might.
“If they insist on removing the memorial itself then, yes, it would be appropriate to remove the other one as well,” she told the Guardian.
The most recent poll in the fifth district shows Few in third place, behind Pope and Norman.
Incumbent ? Mulvaney vacated the fifth district congressional seat when he was chosen to head the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration.

Remove all symbols of past oppressors.
Leave very few symbols of the oppression.
I'm all for pulling down confederate monuments and flags, but making things seem like it never happened leads to people denying it like the holocaust deniers. -

Until reparations are paid I don't even want to discuss removing racist monuments because soon they will act like that stuff never happened

And what Texas put in there school's textbooks will eventually be put in the rest of the country's textbooks. -
Notice the keyword "immigrant". And remember when Ben Carson said the same thing a month or so ago? If/when the fuckery goes down their justification of it is going to be "blacks are immigrants so we're going to target them too"

Exactly
That was my whole point -
This is local politics once again. This candidate has made her intensions loud and clear. She didn't sugar-coat anything. She will do exactly as she says if she gets that seat. Whatever passes for leadership in the fifth congressional district of South Carolina needs to get on it and make sure she doesn't get elected simply because the people aren't paying attention to the local elections. Wailing, hand wringing, and complaining after the fact is pointless.
