He made the analogy in the context of taking down statutes, which is my point. Dante said that he is comparing the 3, and that is wrong since 2 were founders and one was a confederate general. I pointed out that people are already calling for taking down their statues and renaming public places, so his analogy in that context was correct.
I have listened to him, you can't get away from it. People are correct to repudiate racism, and that's what they've been doing. He repudiated racism and the violence, yet Dante won't repudiate left wing violence, because he is for it.
