New statue of Thomas Jefferson in Jefferson County, Florida

Thomas Jefferson has been one of the victims of the statue genocide that has taken place over the past five years. As such, it’s good news to see a new statue of him being brought into existence. This is exactly what took place in Jefferson County, Florida, where a brand new statue of our third president was unveiled outside the courthouse on July 2nd.

This statue signifies that in at least one small instance, the bullies who think that only people like them should be allowed to be honored, failed to get their way. And that is a beautiful thing, indeed.

You can view a short video clip of the unveiling by Gov. Ron DeSantis below or here, via Fox News:
