Statehouse statues of Stephen Douglas, Pierre Menard to be removed from exterior – Capitol News IL

The decision comes almost six weeks after House Speaker Michael Madigan asked the Office of the Architect to “move expeditiously” in evicting representations of Stephen A. Douglas and Pierre Menard from the Capitol. The work order, which also includes removing the figures’ bases and foundations, can be completed in two to three months.

The more poignant question here is: Why are democrats now tearing down statues of their own party heroes?

If this isn’t a “WTF” question, “WTF” is!?

Michael Madigan did far more damage to Illinois than Stephen Douglas and Pierre Menard.

What a joke.
