When Governor Glenn Youngkin visited France and the UK last week on an economic development trip, he rededicated the London statue of George Washington at Trafalgar Square gifted by the United States. Imagine that: the Brits honoring a statue of a traitor to the crown!

One wonders what the reaction would have been if Youngkin had tried rededicating in Virginia a statue to Washington, who was a slaveholder and speculator in lands once belonging to indigenous peoples. (Hat tip to Freedom Rider.) — JAB
