For the second time since early October, vandals in Chicago have defaced a statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Last month, it was the statue of President Lincoln in the park that bears his name. This time, it was a statue of young Lincoln in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood. In both cases the vandals used paint, with graffiti calling the 16th president a “colonizer.”

Details aside, the attack on Lincoln’s effigy is hardly a surprise. Once anti-American leftists succeeded in attacking and pulling down Confederate statues and battle flags, other symbols of the nation’s past had to follow as night follows day.
