Congressional Democrats are on the march against Confederate symbolism inside the U.S. Capitol and on military bases across the country. How much money Congress spends dictates policy, whether it be federal appropriations for a warship or upkeep of a Confederate statue. And, the measure ordered the removal of Confederate statues that line the halls of Congress. “There is no statue of Benedict Arnold,” said Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Karen Bass (D-CA) when speaking recently at the Capitol. That’s when the time of Confederate statues and other controversial imagery may well expire.
