First this: Trump's finest speech -- and a press that beclowns itself in boiling hate
And, don't forget, a "merry caravan"
CNN slights Mount Rushmore as 'monument of two slaveowners' after extolling its 'majesty' in 2016 "A CNN reporter on Friday described Mount Rushmore "a monument of two slaveowners" situated on stolen land ahead of President Trump's visit to the national monument.
"Grabien founder and editor Tom Elliot tweeted a clip of the report by correspondent Leyla Santiago in which she discussed Trump's planned remarks.
" 'President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans," she said. "I'm told that, uh, he'll be focusing on the effort to 'tear down our country's history.'"
"In 2016, however, a CNN reporter described Mount Rushmore as a "monument to four great American presidents" while narrating a story about a visit to the monument by then-presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
"This is our country at it's very best," Sanders said at the time. "What an incredible achievement."
"The unidentified reporter's voice can be heard talking about the "majesty of the moment." . . .
. . . "Ted Cruz easily took down this CNN pinhead:
Your network is literally arguing to tear down Mount Rushmore. And claiming that murderous, raping anarchists are a peaceful “street festival.”

Update: Elaine Krewer posted The American Catholic:
Meanwhile, Insty points out that only 12 years ago (2008) Obama visited Mount Rushmore while on the primary campaign trail and none other than Jim Acosta of CNN pondered whether Obama’s visage would ever appear on the Mountain. To which Obama replied that he wasn’t sure there was enough rock up there to accomodate his large ears. 🙂 In 2016, Bernie Sanders visited Mount Rushmore and declared it a great and wonderful example of American accomplishment. But that, of course, was so four years ago….
