The violence in Charlottesville was sparked by the Unite the Right rally — a gathering of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK — that was organized to protest the proposed removal of Lee's statue in Emancipation Park.

Why would you spread such a blatant lie Ron? Shrouding the statue has nothing to do with mourning Heather Heyer. It has everything to do with fake democratic values.
