Black Lives Matter Protesters Attack Jefferson Statue At University Of Virginia

On Tuesday night in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson, roughly 100 students, faculty and local residents assaulted the statue of Jefferson on the campus rotunda, covering it with a black shroud, hanging a banner on it that read “Black Lives Matter” and “F**k White Supremacy,” and holding a sign reading “Thomas Jefferson is a racist and a rapist.”

Meanwhile, the crowd chanted, “No Trump, No KKK, no racist UVa” and “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”
