Interesting. He's not wrong except I'm not sure about the end.. "the american voter will" I don't think anyone has any idea what the American voter will do. You're stats above show that 62% of adults opposed removing the monuments. That's a much higher percentage of people than are Republicans, Trump voters, or Fox viewers. I suspect a lot of it could be explained by white people who vote Democratic but feel uncomfortable "accommodating" or "making concessions to" black people and/or leftist activists.
