September 04, 2023 23:57 - 1 minute - 25.9 KB"Philadelphia initially tapped white sculptor Wesley Wofford for a new Harriet Tubman statue, but after local controversy, he stepped aside.

President-Elect Joe Biden said in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, “No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn’t have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol.” Now we hear words of “insurrect...
