GOP lawmaker breaks with Trump, says Confederate statues should come down
Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) broke with many members of his party, including President Trump, by expressing support for removing Confederate statues in the wake of violence stemming from a white supremacist march in Virginia this month.
Duffy, who typically defends Trump’s policy positions , said at a roundtable in Wisconsin that he doesn’t think Confederate leaders should be glorified.
"I look at those Southern leaders — that rebellion cost hundreds of thousands of American lives in the Civil War," Duffy said during a discussion on drug abuse on Thursday, according to the Wausau Daily Herald. "They were fighting to keep people enslaved. I don’t honor what they were fighting for."
