presidents-2016
CNN on Friday depicted Mount Rushmore as "slave owners" situated on stolen
land, after praising the monument for its cultural significance back in
2016, during a segment with then-presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
Grabien's Tom Elliot tweeted a clip of network correspondent Leyla
Santiago saying Mount Rushmore sits on land that was stolen from Native
Americans, just hours ahead of a speech by President Trump.
"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.'"

RUSHMORE REMARKS
This clashes, however, with a CNN segment from 2016 in which Sanders
marveled at the structure, saying that it represents the best of what the
United States has to offer.
"This is our country at it's very best," he said. "What an incredible
achievement."
A CNN reporter's voice can then be heard talking about the "majesty of the
moment," before calling Mount Rushmore a "monument to four great American
presidents."

Pursuant to the new moral stricture promulgated this week by the NYT & CNN
-- that Mount Rushmore is a shameful monument to racism and white
supremacy -- both CNN and Bernie Sanders ought to repent for this praise
they jointly heaped on it in 2016:

Sanders added, "Just the accomplishment and the beauty -- it really does
make one very proud to be an American."
Trump is scheduled to speak at Mount Rushmore Friday night, where he is
expected to address various protests throughout the United States that
have resulted in riots and the tearing down of historical monuments.
Fox News reached out to CNN about the discrepancy but did not receive a
reply to the request for comment.
