House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has ramped up calls to remove “reprehensible” Confederate statues from the halls of Congress — but left unsaid in her public denunciations is that her father helped dedicate such a statue decades ago while mayor of Baltimore. It was May 2, 1948, when, according to a Baltimore Sun article from that day, “3,000” looked on as then-Governor William Preston Lane Jr. and Pelosi’s father, the late Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., spoke at the dedication of a monument to honor Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. The article said Lane delivered a speech, and Mayor D’Alesandro “accepted” the memorial. “Today, with our nation beset by subversive groups and propaganda which seeks to destroy our national unity, we can look for inspiration to the lives of Lee and Jackson to remind us to be resolute and determined in preserving our sacred institutions,” D’Alesandro said in his dedication. “We must remain steadfast in our determination to preserve freedom, not only for ourselves, but for the other liberty-loving nations who are striving to preserve their national unity as free nations.” He added: “In these days of uncertainty and turmoil, Americans must emulate Jackson’s example and stand like a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the liberty of the world.” With President Trump cautioning that the drive to purge Confederate statues could represent a slippery slope, the White House has flagged Pelosi’s family history as she fuels the statue opposition. Counselor Kellyanne Conway tweeted an earlier article from RedAlertPolitics noting Pelosi’s father’s role. “That’s rich,” she wrote. Last week, more than a half century after Pelosi’s father honored the Lee-Jackson monument, it was removed from its post along with three other Confederate statues in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. The removal came as numerous monuments were removed, vandalized or otherwise being debated in the wake of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed. Pelosi’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment on her father’s involvement with one of the Baltimore monuments. But Pelosi, D-Calif., has been outspoken in fueling the backlash toward symbols of the Confederacy. Last week, she urged House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to remove the 10 Confederate statues memorialized on Capitol Hill “immediately” if “Republicans are serious about rejecting white supremacy.” When asked why Pelosi, after serving as House speaker for years, never pushed to remove the 10 figures, her office noted that she directed the relocation of the Robert E. Lee statue from Statuary Hall to the basement of the Capitol, known as the crypt. “As Speaker, we relocated Robert E. Lee out of a place of honor in National Statuary Hall – a place now occupied by the statue of Rosa Parks,” Pelosi said last week.

Point taken..   BUT..  The reporter should have pressed a little harder and asked why there were 10 figures in Statuary Hall…and not only was she speaker of the House.  But, she and her party controlled BOTH chambers of Congress AND Obama was in the White House.  Obama and his agenda were unopposed his first two years in office as President.  So, they could EASILY have taken care of all of that then…but they didn’t.  So, her current self-righteous, self-serving, and current political opportunistic push to do so now is entirely hypocritical and political pandering at it’s worst.  But, that’s typical for ol’ Nancy. And, one thing we love to do here at The Daily Buzz is expose the brazen hypocrisy of politicians like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the liberal agenda of what we call the dominantly liberal mainstream media (i.e. ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR/PBS, CNN, the Washington Post, the NY Times, etc…and of course the absolute worst…MSNBC).  Let’s see if some enterprising reporter is able to confront that old windbag on camera with that line of questioning and THEN ask her about her father’s role mentioned in the article above.  That would be some fun tv worth watching!
