Carson on Confederate Monuments

"Ben Carson doesn’t have a problem with removing Confederate monuments from state or federal land, the Republican presidential-hopeful said Friday.
As reported by The Hayride, a conservative political site in Louisiana, Carson addressed New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s efforts to remove four statues that honor the Confederacy from

public spaces.
“If we’re talking about things that are state or federal lands and properties and you’re talking about something that is not an official symbol of the US and you’re talking about something that offends a large portion of the public, I don’t have any argument with him doing that,” Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, said during a press conference at the National Right to Life convention.
A New Orlean’s city ordinance allows for the local government to move structures, including statues, that it deems a “nuisance,” according to WWL-TV. The contentious monuments that Landrieu is attempting to move honor the Battle of Liberty Place, Jefferson Davis, P.G.T. Beauregard and Robert E. Lee." TheBlaze
