Brian Kilmeade of Fox and Friends suggests that 9-11 memorials are in danger of being removed like Confederate statues.

During an interview with Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, Kilmeade asked if he had any concern about the future security of the Flight 93 National Monument, which he suggested could become a target for activists in the same way that statues of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson have become targets. 

“Do you worry 100 years from now someone’s going to try to take that memorial down like they’re trying to remake our memorials today?” he asked. 

Zinke didn’t directly respond to Kilmeade’s question, and he only issued a vague platitude about learning from history. 

“Well I’m one that believes that you know we should learn from history,” he replied. “And I think our monuments are part of our country’s history. We can learn from it. Since we don’t put up statues of Jesus, everyone’s going to fall morally short.”

I am not sure how having statues of Jesus would make us all moral, but this entire conversation is so stupid that it makes my head ache.

The majority of the Confederate statues were put up between the 1890's and the 1950's to glorify the Civil War and to remind Black folks that people fought and died to keep them in slavery.

That is not even remotely like building a monument to those who died in the biggest terrorist attack in American history.

Just the very fact that this has to be explained to the host of a cable news program suggests that Fox News should be removed from the airwaves to preserve the intelligence of the American people.
