28. DeSatan & Pence

DeSatan & Pence both want to reverse the name changes. It's funny. They want to "recognize history" and save the names of Confederates who fought against the United States... but at the same time DeSatan wants to erase history by banning books about factual history in America. More Hypocrisy.

""It's an iconic name and iconic base, and we're not gonna let political correctness run amok in North Carolina," DeSantis, who was referencing Fort Bragg, told a crowd at the North Carolina Republican Party convention Friday."
