July 22, 2020Sen. Mike Lee: You Can't Learn From History If You Banish It
"If we tear down every statue of every person whose viewpoints and whose behavior wasn't always ideal, wasn't always perfect, we're ... not going to know about many of the historical figures who, for better or for worse, shaped who we are and how we got here," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, says.

That's his perspective on the tearing down of statues such as Ulysses S. Grant, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. Protesters have vandalized and attempted to topple statues in the weeks since the May 25 death of George Floyd. Lee says peace is a more effective plan than violence, and even introduced a resolution condemning mob violence which was rejected by the Senate. He joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.
