      She didn’t say that directly. She insinuated that the Democrats were trying to remove monuments of the founding fathers, and immediately followed that statement with: “Just like they did with the statue of Robert E. Lee,” in Charlottesville. The representative from Maine was merely responding to her entire statement.

      The article title is correct, it just wasn’t as much of a burn as you’d like. The calling out did happen, but was just a bit misplaced since Greene didn’t explicitly make the offending statement.

      Also Greene is dumb and I’m sure is still confused about what a founding father is.
