Yep.
At no point did I say Fr. Damien was a bad figure - in fact, I explicitly stated that my observations weren’t about litigating his or any individual statue.
It’s about the fact that a huge supermajority of statues in the Capitol are white men. Barely any women or BIPOC.
Lots of super bad faith takes out there on social media accusing @AOC of hating on Father Damien. This is the (very good) point she was making.
