The debate over Mt. Rushmore continues…and it wasn’t even a debate until President Trump splashed on the scene.
Prior to Trump’s political arrival, Mt. Rushmore was still considered “majestic” and “historical.”
When Obama visited Mt. Rushmore it was “amazing and beautiful.”
However, when Trump held his 4th of July event there it’s was “dark, ugly and racist.”
Fascinating how CNN called Mount Rushmore "majestic" and "quite a sight" in 2008 when Obama visited, but now its a symbol of slavery and stolen landhttps://t.co/3sV1ZEfW9L [2] https://t.co/GTIH9tzOim [3] pic.twitter.com/5Vu6uQp4XS [4]

I think we all see the obvious pattern here, right?
But liberals have come up with a cure for all this racism and colonialism that Rushmore suddenly represents…
Just add Obama to Mt. Rushmore and that will fix everything.
I mean, just the thought of that is stomach-turning beyond belief.
The two “wokest” dummies on TV, Don Lemon, and Chris Cuomo discussed the “stolen land” that is Rushmore and how to make it okay again.
Apparently, just adding Obama’s goofy mug to the monument will heal all the nation’s wounds.
Give me a break…
From Breitbart [6]
Tuesday on CNN, host Don Lemon said President Barack Obama should be added to the Mount Rushmore sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.
[…] I think, listen … if they are going to put someone on Mount Rushmore, considering the history of the country, the first black president should be front and center.” Lemon said.
Anchor Chris Cuomo said, “Add to Mount Rushmore. I think that’s first of all, it’s a more salable idea than the idea of taking away Founding Fathers.”
Lemon said, “So what’s wrong with all of us together thinking or reshaping our country so that more people rethink our country in the way we think and where priorities are so the country it belongs to everyone.”
Cuomo said, “Nothing is wrong with it.”
Lemon said, “Maybe some of the people up there on Mount Rushmore, who knows? The name shouldn’t be Mount Rushmore if you talk to Native Americans. It is stolen land. It was only Mount Rushmore 40 years before they started to carve presidents’ faces in it. No one got any money for that.”
Cuomo said, “You’re totally right. The premise is where we have to work toward, which is if we all decide. It’s about consensus and collective consciousness.”
Imagine adding one of the worst presidents in. the history of this nation to Mt. Rushmore? The man who drove the final nail into the heart of the American middle-class and created so much race division, not to mention his obvious role in #SpyGate, the most flagrant abuse of political power in the history of the country.
If they did this, I might get on board with blowing the mountain to smithereens.
