If it is associated with Donald Trump, the Left will absolutely use it as an excuse to go after Donald Trump. They just can't help it.
President Trump installed a statue of Thomas Jefferson in the Rose Garden last week, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the yet-to-be-announced move — continuing Trump’s effort to remake the White House and Washington. https://t.co/rqNWASt145

Because why would we want a statue of one of our greatest leaders(our 3rd president), at the home of pur presidents, amiright?

It's very important to rend your garments and run through the streets shouting.

People freaking out about this as if Jefferson doesn't already have an entire memorial in DC. Which, as you may recall, exists because the FDR Dems were mad that the Republicans had a Lincoln Memorial, so they wanted one for their own side. https://t.co/nQjqk55IeF

Clearly, the Left and their scribes are very bored and looking for new things to be outraged about.
This is great! Jefferson should be there. https://t.co/GTtBD3AUTI

That's (D) different.
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and advocated for the inclusion of the Bill of Rights, but he was also a slave owner. Human beings and history are both complicated, but that does not erase his crucial role in helping found this great nation. https://t.co/bYwZxtoMyX

That's way too logical.
Shouldn’t WaPo be happy? https://t.co/wBvpPKp5cN

They'll refuse to acknowledge any good thing that could be credited to Donald Trump.
God forbid there be a statue of a president on the grounds of the White House.

Is there nothing of substance happening in the world that you’d like to report on, WaPo? https://t.co/Wbbh3xACs6
Apparently, it's a slow news day!
Introducing a founding father, who has been part of the American story for 250+ years, is now considered "remaking" the White House and Washington https://t.co/DrMWAWz4V2

Leftist logic is often anything but.
