print“Sanctuary City Mayor Trashes American Hero Robert E. Lee” is the current column, now on The Daily Caller. An excerpt:
Mayor Mike Signer—who had declared his intention to make Charlottesville, Virginia, the “capital of the resistance” to President Trump and a sanctuary city “to protect immigrants and refugees”—is refusing to protect a symbol saluting one of America’s greatest men.
