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.

I was struck trying to remember how many of those who jumped in on this came to your defense when you were attacked by Rep Yoho in his passion for his God, his country, and his family.
