DAN FOREST TRIES TO STIR UP FEARS BY EQUATING DURHAM PROTESTERS TO COMMUNIST REGIMES: “Communist agitators” and “anarchists” shouldn’t dictate what North Carolina does with its Confederate statues, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest says. Forest, a socially conservative Republican who plans to run for governor in 2020, told The Daily Advance in Elizabeth City that Gov. Roy Cooper was responding to the crowd in Durham that toppled a monument in front of the old Durham County courthouse when Cooper called for removal of Confederate monuments from state property. “The lieutenant governor said the destruction of the Confederate monument in Durham was an act of violence by two communist groups, and people need to remember that communists killed 100 million people,” The Daily Advance reported.
