    And I’m not really seeing any arguments from liberals about this particular statue when I visit leftist subs.

        Not necessarily. From what I skimmed, it seemed like they just wanted renovate the park, and various ideas were proposed. Just because some of them didn’t envision statues doesn’t meant it was a leftist or political reason for such a design.
