Byrd was a staunch segregationist, for instance. Now, he wasn't a traitor to the nation like the Civil War generals, were, but he was on the wrong side of history with his racism. So what are your thoughts on this sort of statue removal?

Byrd did acknowledge his mistake and denounce the klan though, once the Dems embraced civil rights.

Dems cannot be trusted to stay on the wrong side of history.

Or maybe they are hiding their racist, Klan-supporting past?

That's why they want to take the statue down.
