John Lennon's son Sean slams toppling of Lincoln statue in Portland by suggesting the Pyramids should be 'taken down immediately because the Pharaohs were not very woke' and says Italians should be 'held accountable' for Caesar
John Lennon's son Sean on Monday took to
Twitter to mock the toppling of a Lincoln statue in
Portland following a night of unrest in the Oregon city on Sunday.
Sean Ono Lennon, 45, then sarcastically suggested that 'the Pyramids should be torn down immediately' because the 'evil Pharaohs were not very woke'.
The son of Beatles legend John was responding to events in Portland where protesters on Sunday overturned statues of former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and vandalized the Oregon Historical Society in a declaration of 'rage' toward Columbus Day.
Outspoken Ono Lennon also mocked the vandals, suggesting the Italians be held accountable for Emperor Julius Caesar. He wrote: 'Can someone explain why it appears a Lincoln statue was toppled in Portland? Asking for a friend.'
The musician, who has more than 300,000 followers on Twitter, followed up with a tweet, adding: 'The Pyramids of Giza were made under coercion from evil Pharaohs who were not very woke. I think we can all agree the Pyramids should be torn down immediately.
