Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., appeared Saturday on the "Fox Report," ripping local Democrat leaders for allowing "lawlessness" while commending President Trump for his executive order protecting monuments. "Thank God that the president did that executive order, which basically says we have to protect our federal monuments and also would take away funding from state and local governments that don't protect the statues," Lesko told anchor Jon Scott. "Do you see some of these cities which are a Democrat -un, are just letting lawlessness go on, whether it's autonomous towns or toppling statues or defacing statues? "And I applaud the president doing everything he can to protect our communities and to protect these statues and these monuments that reflect the heritage of our nation," Lesko said. "We should be learning from our history, not destroying it."
