Senior Fellow Jeremy Carl has warned that America's history is "being erased" due to a "new set of heroes rising", and statues of historical figures are now at risk of being taken down.

Carl revealed: "Beyond just cultural examples, there's all sorts of other examples - you have monuments coming down.

"And at first these were just the Confederates, the kind of rebels during the Civil War and people like me warned they will start there because those are the easy victims, because their cause is not seen as particularly sympathetic in 21st Century America. But it will not stop there.

"And now what we see is statues of Thomas Jefferson, statues of George Washington, statues of Abraham Lincoln being taken down and a new set of heroes rising and America's history being erased, just as people like me predicted."
